IS250 AWD Front Strut on AWD GS300
So I am fairly positive they can be, but can I use the KYB strut from an AWD ISX50 on my AWD GS300? My car has a very intermittent knocking noise, and while I thought it was the swaybar endlink, when I looked at the strut, wheel well, and the inside of the wheel, it looked as if the fluid had been leaking for quite some time. Any input would be great. Ebay has a OEM AWD GS300 struts for $230 shipped, but if ISX50 KYBs can be used, I'd rather pay the $155 for those.

The part numbers differed, which I assumed meant no go, but there were a few members here who said they had worked, so I wasn't quite sure what to decide. Maybe they do work, but the different part number represents struts with different valving and ride characteristics? Also, the bracket which attaches to the bottom of each (the c bracket) is the same part number for both.
