I think I have a spare set of those if you need them. IIRC they were cheap and I just ordered another pair when I ordered all the other parts from Toyota.


Yeah I don't know where I put mine or if you could give me the measurements I can grab basically the same thing at Lowes. I'm just not sure how wide it is.


Pm me your address and I'll send them over. I'm not going to my shop today so ithey probably won't get sent till Monday.

I didnt measure the diameter since i figured you'd get one the size of the bolt lol But the thickness is about 1 cm for anyone else who happens to throw it away and stumbles upon this thread.

This thread might my savior. Been suffering with the same symptoms Jmk91 had.... rattling/clunking coming from the top of the rear struts. I had put in after market struts.

Jmk91 (or anyone who knows): Do I have to take the strut/spring completely apart or does the spacer just go in between the top of the strut and mount (i.e. unbolt the strut, put spacer on, bolt strut back up)?
Also where's the best place to buy this part... Toyota? I did find the part listed in ToyotaOverstock but seems to be NLA. What is the difference between the two part numbers listed (90387-15012) and (90387-15027)?
And just so I'm sure... one (1) spacer for each side or two (2)? The below diagram seems to indicate two "(2)".

The spacer goes on the top of the upper strut mount sir. You can actually take off the bolt with your car on the ground if you used lowering springs and add the spacer and torque nut and your done. I never tried it still on car with normal springs just lowering springs. I had trd springs.

You can actually just go down to any part store and find a spacer. I found my oem ones I threw away. Lucky me. I think they where 3/4th of an inch in height. All you need is to get the right diameter spacer. Or call dealership and get order one. If you need any help just shoot me a text 740-538-4169

Also its one spacer per side. The part number probably changed from year to year but any will work fine. As long as you have the same size on both sides you'll be fine. Running 3/4th inch high spacer on each side vs running 1 inch on one side 1/2 inch on other. They might have been 5/8ths but I'd go 3/4th. You'll have enough to thread the bolt on. I wouldn't go higher than 3/4th tho.
