Default 2006+ Lexus GS300 AWD front driveshafts

Curious if other cars CV front driveshafts work for our cars. I heard the IS250 V6 AWD work and than also someone mentioned that the 2003-2006 ES300 shafts work. Anyone have any experience. The reason I ask is that many re builders stock the ES shafts as its an older car.

Please advise.

Email Sewell lexus and ask of those parts cross reference. If it does, it'll work. Otherwise I wouldn't. I don't know if it will, but according to the body's wheelbase and body dimensions, I don't think it will. That is all based off of speculation, sorry.

I replaced mine from a junked car. You can sometimes get a deal if you buy both - it was 400 for both shipped to me, instead of the 2k new. Came off of a 50k mile car, so I'm happy with it. My bearings were shot, so I had to replace them.

Take the originals to a cv axle shop they should be able to rebuild them for less then buying used or oem new.

I figured out the 2006 IS250 shafts are the same.
