Default Standard Shock Options???

I looked at Sewell Lexus for replacement shocks, and it mentioned two types depending on a code... Shocks Fronts: PASSENGER SIDE MARK 48510-50200 or PASSENGER SIDE MARK 48510-50140.

Where is this mark to look-up? On the shock body somewhere? Is this just difference between sport and non-sport maybe? Just checking

It's printed on the tube of the shock. I replaced my rear a few months ago and came across the same issue. I may be wrong, but I think the different code numbers are two different OEM Lexus part suppliers or production runs. And they're probably interchangable but check to make sure.

Yep, you are right... on the tubes (have to remove the wheels to see it). Lexus guy at Sewell says you only need to replace same when you do less than all 4... they are different runs or OEM suppliers and different volumes dictate the difference in prices... all are same specs allegedly. Turns out the 4 wheel set they offer in the quick pic is exactly what is on mine now so that was easy.
