Our take on the 2012 Toyota Avalon XLS Front Driver and Passenger Side Strut

This is a pair of front loaded struts for the 2012 Toyota Avalon XLS, sold as a complete assembly with coil spring and mounting hardware already installed. Loaded struts cut installation time because you don't need a spring compressor. The twin-tube, non-adjustable design is an OE-style replacement, not a performance upgrade. At $181.99 at CarParts.com as of November 4, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare against.
