I just installed new trunk struts on my new to me 2004 LS 430. I purchased the Strong Arm brand from Amazon. These struts were repeatedly recommended by other Club Lexus members. The Strong Arm model # is 6415 and they were $28.14 from Amazon. Installation was super easy taking all of about 5 minutes.

My experience over 15 years in a 2004 UL is Strong Arm is the best quality for your money.

Just had some Strong Arms installed. Opens so easily now. Harder to close though, lol.

STABILUS have a life time warranty. O'Reilly Auto Parts or I think Autozone might have them.
