I replaced my xreas front and back, both sides after 152k miles. fronts were not leaking. one of my rears was just starting to weep slightly (no drips or streaks) so I replaced all 4 corners since everything was original from factory. you can replace individual components as long as not too much fluid has been lost and you do it properly. each component comes over pressurized with fluid from the factory and if you use the pintle values properly you can replace a component without fluid loss. the over pressurization will also help offset minor fluid loss if you do have a leak. if you are leaking from the lines or are dripping all over the driveway you need to replace the lines/actuators as well

I took it to a toyota dealer to have this done. I didn't want to even attempt this myself. they were kind enough to bring me into the shop floor and chat directly with an experienced tech who did the work

the truck rides like brand new. I like the stiff ride and cornering feels great, truck is so planted on the corners. I caught mine early before any fluid was lost which is crucial to minimize repair costs. if you like your xreas this is something else to consider instead of scrapping it altogether
