It has been pointed out before but just to emphasize, do not get or allow a shop to install Monroe shock absorbers. I brought up the concern that many have had about squeaking with the shop that replaced our rear shock absorbers and then made the mistake of letting them talk me into it. As expected, nothing but constant squeaking. Going to get these replaced with Bilsteins.

 

Finally got around to replacing them with Bilstein B6s. So much better!

 

Well done.

 

Hi, have you replaced the shocks yet? If so, what are you impressions? I'm leaning towards KYB, but seeing Blistein may be a better choice.

 

^^ My wife's 2015 RX350 continues to run on its factory shocks, now at just over 88,000 miles. When she starts to complain about diminishing ride quality I will replace the factory shocks with Bilsteins. They make the best shocks on the planet.

 

Replaced the rear shocks on my 2010 RX450h with the B4 Bilstein shocks (same model shocks as rear 2014-2019 Highlanders). Chose the B4 as equivalent to OEM Lexus ride. After a month, the ride seems to be the same as the OEM ride when new. While the 450h had 111K miles, the shocks were not leaking oil, etc. I just figured they should be replaced by that mileage.
