Exact fit for 2011 RAV4 limited with 96,000 miles. The ride was greatly improved, old struts were in bad shape. I recommend getting strut mounts when replacing the struts. Both of mine fell apart when I removed them from the springs. Luckly I had already decieded to replace them and had the mounts on hand.

I bought these to replace my OEM units for a 2008 Toyota Rav4 with 100,000 miles. The originals were shot when I recently bought the car and it caused a lot of handling issues. The new KYB units were a perfect replacement and installed easily. I chose the KYB after reading some forums and have been happy with the purchase. The only reason I didnt give them a 5 star is that they seem to ride a little firm - but since mine were broken before, I dont have anything to fairly gauge that statement - just a feeling they seem firm. Maybe the OEM's were/are that way as well. Anyway, they seem to be very good quality and a perfect replacement.

Drop in replacement! Luckily I didn't need to align our tires after replacing all 4 gas struts and both front stabilizer bar links on our 2008 RAV4. The job did take me all day (~10hrs) to replace all 4 struts.I changed these because our RAV was making a little noise when backing up-turning, or going over a slight bump. Also figuring that it's almost 10 years, this was a cheap replacement.I would recommend getting the replacement rubber boot and shims if you can find them. I just simply re-used my old cracked/compressed ones which ended up okay, but knowing that I cheaped out doesn't give me a good peice of mind. Car works like brand new. Stiff handling again. No noise. I swear the braking power was magically better, probably due to restored weight distribution during braking.

These are good strut. I can only tell the durability after 30-50 thousand miles. Just got them and now have about 500 miles. So far so good. These are good replacement.

I have a 08 RAV4 V6 Sport, and these have brought the OEM ride back to where it was. I've had them on over a month now, and am liking the ride more and more. My first choice would have been Bilstein, but apparently they do not make them for this particular vehicle.************Update!!! these are not a good investment!! They lasted less than a year!! terrible, I think Blistein now makes them for the rear only, or you can order the factory ones from dealer,but not these!***********
