I have a 2014 Lexus is250. Live in a city that does not care about the roads so pot holes are in every direction. I fell victim to this and now my the lexus has a bad front driver axle. Going on two weeks now looking for an axle I'm out of ideas/places to look at. Are there other models or older years I can look for ? This has really been exhausting and asking here was an option i was trying to avoid as I try to find things out for myself.

 

I am seeing lots of results on Ebay, often flaunting a "TOYOTA/LEXUS Genuine Parts" box. I also see options from AutoZone. I managed to find parts on Longo Lexus's website as well. Of course, the dealer charges a lot more.

Any front-left axle from model years 2014-2016 on any AWD trim of IS should be fine. What exactly are you looking for?

 

thanks for replying. I’ve called the dealer last week quoted at $900 since they do not have the part. as for autozone/advance auto. i have tried every AWD trim for IS with no luck…. “no parts found”. ebay just throws our rear axles.


Im looking for a front driver-side axle. i was just wondering if like an RC model 14+ is compatible or like any toyota model. As this is where my searches are leading me to.

I live in NJ also, how do you know your front axle is bad? Sorry to hear that

 

To confirm, here is the OEM part number for the axle: 43420-30040 (Front left side AWD)

Lexus dealer price is $640 USD: https://parts.longolexus.com/oem-par...Y2LWdhcw%3D%3D
This recycler has it for $255 USD: https://www.tlsautorecycling.com/sea...50/278037.html
Megazip has the genuine OEM part for $624 USD: https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dl...?q=43420-30040

All indications are this axle is found only on the IS from 2014-2020...AWD of course.
