Sorry if this question has been asked before (a search didn't yield any hits)...

Can someone tell me what the part numbers are for the front rotors for a 2008 GS350 AWD? I called my local dealership and they "don't give out part numbers." When I asked for the number, they asked why I wanted it. I replied with a question of my own: Why they wouldn't give it out. Anyway, I was getting nowhere with them. I found these numbers on a website but I don't know if they are the right numbers (or if they issued a new rotor part number): 43512-30330 for front right and 43516-30020 for front left.

Also, I was told that a TSB was recently (as of a couple of weeks) released for the brake squealing. It only took Lexus Canada like almost a year to release the same TSB that Lexus USA issued. (I'm out of luck for the TSB since I've had to change pads to aftermarket when the squealing wouldn't stop.) Anyway, does anyone know what the new brake pad part number is? How does it compare to the original, dusty OEM pads? I'm currently using Centric PosiQuiet pads and they've been good in the dust department but they are pretty noisy brake pads (always makes a groaning sound right when the car comes to a complete stop and when letting the foot off the brake at a complete stop).

Thanks!

I just checked all my PDF's and they only show the 3GSR and 3UZFE caliper part #. The rest just gives the specs/sizes of all the parts but not part numbers. If this will help out in anyway PM me your email and I will send it over.

Maybe try to PM Sewell and see if they can confirm for you?

What dealership was that? I suppose they don't want to give you the part number because they want to be the ones to sell you the parts at the typical insultingly inflated price.

Good idea. Maybe I will shoot an email to Sewell Lexus.

It was Don Valley North Lexus. I'm pretty much undecided on if I like the dealership or not. Some things they do are good and other things really rub me the wrong way. The reason why they wouldn't give me the part number is precisely because they don't want me ordering parts online for a fraction of the cost. ($150 CAD per front brake rotor vs. about $110 USD for the same thing.)

they are correct part numbers.. you can double check by going to sewell lexus and put part # for "part number search"..

Check Northwest Lexus. They are a bit further away but I've had good experience so far, mostly, with them. Though, for some reason their service manager hasn't been returning my last couple of emails.

I guess what I was asking for is if these were the most updated part numbers. When I was talking to the parts guy at my local dealership, he told me his system was showing different part numbers for brake pads and rotors. I suspect that the two different part numbers for the rotors is for the left and right front rotors (they are different part numbers) and the different brake pad numbers are for the different types (original dusty, dustless/squeaky, dustless/less squeaky).

I guess I just wanted to know if anyone knew the different brake pad part numbers for the different types of pads...

Thanks stvincent!

I thought I read somewhere that there is a third brake pad? Eh, maybe I should just forget about it and stick with my Posi Quiets. Thanks for your help!

P.S. Is it just me or is the sewellpartsonline.com website a little wonky? I can't seem to navigate it at all or find any parts... It just keeps leading me back to the car model selector page...
