08 Limited both rear Xreas leaking at 14K not too happy going in to be looked at tomorrow then I am sure they will have to order the parts and drag it out. They told me not sure when we can fit you in we are doing recall work I told the girl no disrespect but I could care less I spent 40K on my truck and would like a little service too tell Toyota to build better quality like they use to and you would not be so busy I was pissed!!!!!

Yep, haven't heard X-Reas failing so early. And you are right, they will have to order the parts. I had this happen to one of my shocks at like 40K. They still had to order the parts. (I have the extended warranty). Total cost for ONE SHOCK and rental car $600.00 billed to Toyota.
Some people have said you can't replace just one, you have to replace the other at the opposite corner. On mine they replaced only ONE. That's the other situation with the X-Reas-even the dealers don't know enough about this "over thought" system to work on it!
There are guys here on the forum that are big fans of the X-Reas. But it does start to become "soft" around 50,000 miles and just goes downhill from there.
I have 74,000 on my '05 and the X-Reas is horrible at absorbing the bumps and potholes from all these storms we have had here in So. Cal.
I have already purchased a stock TRD system from a guy who took it off the FJ. The only reason I haven't put it on yet is because of the extended warranty.
I DON'T LIKE THE X-REAS!!!!:flamethrwoer2:

Well they also told me it is normal seepage is there such a thing i think NOT. I will keep an eye on it I have the 100K warranty plus I have it noted so when it does go i can have a leg to stand on. My wife has an 03 sport 170K no leaks I do have to admit if it was not on a lift getting tires I would never have seen under the dust cover but too funny normal seepage give me another load on crap!!!

Thanks for the update. You will start to notice that the ride isn't what it used to be somewhere between 60 and 75K. But that's a long way down the road for you!!
Enjoy!
