Hello how is everyone doing? I have a 2009 ls460l awd. I want to replace all 4 air struts. And replace the entire front suspension. Control arms and etc. The car rides fine but I can feel the looseness in the front end and I know my rear right shock is on its death bed.lol
can someone tell me a reputable place to buy these parts from? The dealers price is insane. I'm trying to stay under 2k for parts. +- Thankyou in advance!!
ok I'm a liitle confused. On my 2009 460l awd. Certain suspension parts are dealer only? Again id like to replace all 4 air struts. And replace all control arms in the front. Upper and lower. I said a budget of 2k, but im realistic. Though less expensive is better. I notice many companies have non air strut replacement. Has anyone done one on a awd l model? Do warning lights show up on the dash??? Please let me know.

OEM parts with a $2k budget will get you one shock absorber and one or two control arms.
If he wants to go aftermarket it’s more attainable but it will be a challenge to get aftermarket AWD front air shocks and nobody in the aftermarket makes the front upper forward control arm for AWD.
I have a pair of aftermarket rear air shocks for my AWD I never installed and would be willing to sell though

Actually, there is a number of aftermarket front upper forward arms for AWD. Front upper rearward arms are OEM only.
