2009 RX350 Rear Struts
#17
They are different Right from Left, however, for some reason Sewell is showing the same for 2005 as 2009. My example concentrated on the same corner and listed for FWD and AWD.

Cartman57,Can you tell me if the entire side panel is to be removed or just the plastic area just over the top of the strut? I am thinking I have to take off the entire side cover which has a hard plastic area over the strut tower. I don't want to be pulling on the whole panel if only the smaller plastic area has to be removed. Appreciate the help. I am only stressing accessing the upper bolts, the rest of the removal/installation, not so much.

Lesson learned - make sure the top nut of the strut keeping the spring and the strut mount in place is tightened to spec BEFORE you install the strut.
Good luck!
