Service tech called me. Yep right rear shock blown. replaced with parts in stock. This must be a common problem.

Correction it was the Right Front shock. I used Crown Lexus in Ontario, CA. Simply because I bought the car there and I had complementary oil change waiting for me. They also repaired all the curb damaged wheels and re-did alignment but that was on a separate occasion. Funny that was about 2 months ago, I guess the shock wasn't leaking then.

...I have a clunking sound every time I go over speed bump on the rear passenger side... :/

...maybe time to swing by the dealership prior to warranty expiration...

Definitely go get it checked. This must be a common issue if Crown had a GS350 Shock in stock.

This makes me not want to put my lowering springs on.

It's a shame that the shocks are blowing this early on. I'm glad I have the CPO but can't imagine the retail on the shocks themselves.

Right front shock on my 2013 F sport was blown with less than 25K miles. The tech said it is fairly rare but always seems to be the right front.
