Genuine Toyota Crown Athlete Sensor Shocks – Performance Ex-Japan Quality
Does your Crown Athlete feel “floaty” on the highway, or has the suspension become permanently stiff? The Crown Athlete is designed for drivers who want both luxury and speed. Unlike the Royal Saloon, the Athlete uses a more aggressive Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS). At Taleon Autospares, we stock Clean Ex-Japan Sensor Shock Absorbers that are specifically calibrated for the Athlete’s sportier chassis (GRS184, GRS204, GRS214).
Why “Ex-Japan Sensor Shocks” are a Must for the Athlete:
-
Preserve Sport Mode: These shocks feature the internal electronic valves that react instantly when you press the “Sport” button, stiffening the car for better cornering and high-speed stability.
-
No Dashboard Errors: Using cheap, non-sensor shocks will trigger a permanent “Check Suspension” light and disable your car’s advanced traction control features. Our genuine units are 100% plug-and-play.
-
Athlete-Specific Tuning: These units provide the firmer, more responsive damping that the Athlete series is known for, preventing the “nose-diving” common in older luxury sedans.
-
Superior Durability: Sourced from Japan’s low-mileage vehicles, these Grade A units have pristine seals and original hydraulic fluid, ensuring they can handle Kenyan roads far longer than generic aftermarket brands.
Signs Your Crown Athlete Shocks are Failing:
-
Suspension Warning Light: An “AVS” or “Check System” message appears on your dashboard.
-
Loss of Adaptive Function: You no longer feel any difference in ride quality when switching between “Comfort” and “Sport” modes.
-
Bottoming Out: The car hits the internal bump stops when driving over speed bumps or dips, indicating the hydraulic pressure is gone.
-
Unstable High-Speed Handling: The car feels “nervous” or sways excessively when switching lanes at speeds above 100 km/h.
-
Oily Wetness: Visible oil leaking down the side of the shock absorber body means the internal gas and oil seals have failed.

Professional Advice: The Crown Athlete is a heavy, powerful car. When replacing shocks, always inspect your Lower Control Arm Bushes and Stabilizer Links. Fresh shocks combined with tight bushings will make your Crown feel like it just left the showroom in Japan.
