I'm almost certain that the rear shocks from 2010-2015 models are the same. Just order one of those and it should fit in just fine.

Call your local Lexus Parts and give them your vin number, They can provide you the latest part number if the older one has been superseded.

KYB is the OEM manufacturer...if you can't find the OEM part...there have been many reviews that the KYB GR2 shocks are an excellent substitute. FWIW, KYB is offering a $60 rebate card with purchase of 2 till April 30th.

You must not have searched very hard because simply Googling that part number shows them available at several sites: https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/...531-0e020.html
Where they appear to be in stock when I added them to my cart and started checkout, out of test interest.

https://www.lexussouthatlantaparts.c...85310E020.html

Tokico was the manufacturer of my original OEM shocks when I pulled the leaking ones off to replace them. The new OEM shocks I bought were also Tokico.

I recall that Lexus changed the part numbers, maybe it reflects an improvement from the original leak prone shocks.

Sorry. Out of stock with no ETA. I actually looked harder than you did by calling them....

48531-0E020 has been superseded by 48531-0E130, which was then superseded by 48531-0E131. It's actually mentioned in the link that Clutchless posted...also listed below for convenience.

​​​​​​Personally, I bought the KYB GR-2, even though they were twice the price. My OEMs were Tokico and I didn't feel like they deserved another shot based on all the posts in this forum.
