Hello all, I am posting about OEM suspension differences, and hoping to get some insight from experienced members. This does NOT relate to aftermarket suspension set-ups. I am going to replace my struts and or springs by making my own assembled piece. (I can not find and OEM one pre built). This will be for both front and rear. My car is a 2017 Prius Two. First of all regarding suspension differences between 2016-2018 I understand there is a difference between the suspensions of touring and non touring. Although when putting in both types of cars (touring vs non-touring), I am getting the same spring and strut part numbers for either version car. Right Side Strut Front: 48510-80815 Left Side Strut Front: 48520-80492 Springs Front Right and Left:48131-47180 First question: Have the Non Touring model struts been superseded by the Touring model? Next question: Are the 2019-2022 Struts and Springs any different from the 2016-2018 Touring vs Non Touring Struts and Springs? Third question: Also Are the 2019-2022 struts and springs compatible with 2016-2018 models? (I assume they are but the part numbers differ.) Right Side Strut Front: 48510-80A77 Left Side Strut Front: 48520-80637 Springs Front Right and Left: 48131-12J10 Finally: Are the only parts I need to make a front strut assembly these: #10, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, & #21? I attached a diagram Thanks for your help.
Ok so there is a difference in the shocks on the touring models AKA 17 inch rims. From 2016-2018 the only difference the shocks. The touring is a bit stiffer and more of a performance feel to it. Also the part numbers are different. Don’t go on sites go to the dealer and get a vin number from a Prius with the factory 17 inch rem package to get the correct shocks. Now in 2019-2022 the shocks were slightly different, springs have different numbers and the rubber dust boot can be ordered by each side and in parts. The 2016-2018 setup was all one piece with bearing and boot and both sides have the same number. Also the 17 inch rim Prius has a stiffer shock setup as well.
