That's a steal. I didnt have to replace mine when I did mine, but it's all about luck and if yours have seen much road salt or not.

Unless the rubber seal is broken and there is grease leaking out, rust is usually why people need to replace them.

Sometimes you could run into the problem of strippin' the hex stud.

I don't have a TRD RSB, but I had to replace my rear links twice for both of my suspension installs. The second set was only a year old and I still had to cut them off. Save yourself the hassle and don't buy OEM if you need ot replace them.

It's a good idea to at least know where a set is just in case. I would say when I was wrenching I broke probably 50% of them when I was replacing struts.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

I had to replace mine cause the threads/allen wrench hole was stripped. Think I paid around thirty/five for one, got them at AdvancedAuto but they were thicker then your post...but i would get them just in case or in the case that yours are damaged...
