In today's video I will be showing you step by step how to replace the commonly failed trunk struts on a 1999 Lexus SC 300.
The process is the same for any 1st gen. Lexus SC 300 or SC 400 (1992-00 model years) or a 3rd gen. Toyota Soarer (1991-00 model years). The only thing to note is that there are different struts for spoiler vs non-spoiler trunks. I have posted links for both below - please choose the right one before proceeding.

    I have the same car as you but mine is a 2000. I got it in the San Francisco Bay area. The former owner passed away but she purchased the car in 00 when she retired as a teacher with no husband/kids and the amount of service records from lexus is like 3 inches thick. She took it in every 4 months, its had everything done from head gaskets, timing belt, rack n pinion, you name it. All from the dealer, she followed the lexus owner manual service recommendations and checked all the boxes. Ive been meaning to calculate the amount of money she spent on it. Only 125k miles. I kept her stanford and occidental alumni plate frames on the car in her honor.
