    Hi all, i have a 07 prius with 60k Km. right now, everytime i go thru a hole, there is always a noise like something is loose. It also sounds like a rattles too. The noise seems to came from the front driver side tire (i have the right side driver japan version prius ). I assume it was the shocks / struts that needs replacement.

    However, in my country (Indonesia) this car is very very rare, so my question is if there is a replacement for the prius front shock that is similar to other toyota car such as Yaris, Corolla, Camry,etc that is more common in my country. If not, is there any other brand that i can use besides the oem toyota shocks?

    Thanks for the help.

    This is very low mileage for shock problems on the Prius. I would get it checked out before going ahead with shock replacement. The shocks are made by KYB and I do not know if any others might fit.
