Not sure why they show rear when its a front kit.
04948-XXXXX will always be for the rear
04947-xxxxxx will always be for the front.

The correct part number for the front fitting kit (to which includes the 2 v-shapped springs, 4774330020) is part number 0494730120. The 0494830070 is for the rear.

I hope that helps.

Get OEM Lexus ball joints.
I did not know TM engineering specialized in ball joints. I thought their specialty was polyurethane bushings to replace the OEM rubber ones.
