Default ebay oem style air suspension ?

unfortunately my rear shock has worn out, every time went over a bump the rear wheel just bouncing up and down. Drives fine on good surface road. also when i jack up the car i can see my rear left shock has some oil leak. so has anyone tried the oem style shock from ebay? the price seems pretty affordable. thanks

There are different ones on ebay. I have a pair for the '07-'09 cars, didn't get to install them before mine was totaled, but I plan to save them for the '12 I have, now.

Which ones, specifically, were you looking at?

We need some details.

Your LS...year, 2WD or 4WD, sport package or not...that kind of thing.

I've found, the ebay part number appears to be invented, as it doesn't cross to anything on lexuspartsnow. Personally, I'd steer clear of it.

These are KYB struts, and there are sellers on ebay selling NOS ones.

Okay, so you need the exact struts I have.

This is where I bought mine, and it certainly appears to be the real deal.

Rear air strut 2007-2009 LS 460

Beware, driving on one which has problems.

are all 4 the same, or are each of the struts specific to a corner?

I have a spare set of all 4 OEM air suspension I purchased which I am willing to sell. It came off of a 2007 ls460 with 25k miles on them. DM if you are interested.

The rears should be the same, don't know about the fronts, but they're definitely not the same as the rears.
