I just bought a 04 LS 430, 86,000 mi. sport suspension , I think my shock needs replacing , I feel a little rattle on my drivers side front shock , it could be a bushing as well. Is my only bet the Lexus dealer ? or is there some where i can purchase one online ? And i am guessing the O.E..M. sport suspension shocks are different than the standard suspension, right ??

i just bought and replaced both the rears on my 2004. Only one ws leaking in the back, but since i was doing one i decided to do both.
I bought mine form
parts geek dot com.
they were like 100.00 cheaper than lexus. They are just KYB shocks, check the number stamped on the shock/strut

Thanks, I was not sure if the shocks were any different from an LS with out the sport suspension.

be careful they are different. I also have the "euro" or sport suspension. There were different part numbers for the sport vs the regular.
If you pull the number off the front strut you can cross refeence it at parts geek. hope this helps
