Question Air absorber LS400!

Hello!
I'm looking for air absorber for my LS400 (98'). Is this possible, to get new one in US?
Front, driver side.
I'm not interested in swap to springs

Greetings from Poland!
David

They are available as far as this site indicates:
https://www.lexussouthatlantaparts.c...ng=air%20shock

Are the EU dealers not showing this part as being available? Shipping on a part this size and weight is going to be pricey.

No way to buy new absorber in dealers
Yes, there's available in your site, but I see it's not cheap....I heard, it is possible to buy new absorber in US for part of that price in your site

The one option is to find used but at this age they will have the same potential problems of leaking due to the seals drying out-cracking. I'm not sure if I can recall anyone attempting to repair these. There have been aftermarket kits but those have varying results in quality and longevity. The spring route is the least expensive to keep the car roadworthy. If you are into modifying than one of the aftermarket air suspensions like Air Runner and similar.

This is for the 430 '01-06' though shares similar info on the spring conversion:

My problem is solved. I've found used shock absorber, with not so big mileage.
