My LS had 107,000 miles on it and I noticed all 4 shocks are leaking. I am going to replace them, I noticed that the "KYB" was named on the OEM ones, however, KYB's catalog only has RWD it does not have LS460 AWD. The OEM shocks are about 200 USD eash. Does anyone had replaced the shocks? Does that mean we can only pay twice much to get the OEM ones?

 

If the OEM shocks aren't available directly as KYB replacements, I would bite the bullet and pay for the OEM shocks. I replaced the OEM shocks in my BMW with Bilstiens - big mistake - ruined the ride.

 

Thank you for your information

 

I tried to look on RockAuto but couldn't find anything for 2013 with AWD. Let us know what you end up going with. I'm curious to know too. Thanks.

 

The dealer recently replaced my driver side rear shock. Paid for by the L certified warranty. Oem Part 48540-59116
I have a 13 LS460 AWD L with 38,500 miles.
I noticed the shock was leaking so pointed it out to the dealer.

Typically, when I have paid for shocks or struts I have always replaced them in pairs on the advice of the mechanic.

For those that had Lexus cover the cost of shock replacement did the warranty cover a pair even if only one was bad?

Thanks for the input.

 

Aaargh, frustrating. AWD cars are chassis code USF46, and the front NON-air shock should be on this list, but is not: http://jp-carparts.com/lexus/partlis...ype=9&fig=4803

This diagram shows the non-air AWD front shocks: http://japancars.ru/index.php?route=...62&blk_id=4803

I think these are the front non-air AWD shocks:
48510-80535 RH, $170:

48520-59635 LH, $170:

There's no reason for the AWD rear shocks to be any different from the RWD, but I could be wrong.

 

2013 is different, but here are those front shocks:

Lexus won't pay to replace parts that haven't failed so, no, they will only replace the failed shock absorber.

 

Thanks sktn77a. I wonder if the repair was on me Lexus would have recommended replacing both rear shocks even if only 1 was leaking. I’m hoping the other one fails now within my warranty period!
