I found the part number for "Bilstein B6 rear shock 2014-2019 Highlander" : 24-282901

Thanks, everyone!

Default 2016 Fsport shocks

Hi everyone,

Just bought my first Lexus (being a Ford F150 last 25 years guy It is a 2016 F sport with 70K miles and was wondering about the shock replacement. I noticed they have an electrical connector ,and wanted to know if I replace them with a base RX shock will I get a led light up in the dash? saying I don't see the shock .

Thanks

The F sport has front and back shocks with an electrical connector that changes the way the shock dampens according to what sport mode you chose. I have seen 2000$ for 4 shocks and 900$ also in aftermarket with good reviews

Default Shock connection

Hi, Has anybody unplugged the electrical connector at the front or rear shocks of a 2016 F Sport ? Did you get a warning light
?

Doesn't look like anyone replaced F sport shocks on their own. Or they didn't see this post.

Why not try and unplug the connector at the shock and see what happens.

Cheers!

Thanks you are right. I just sold my 3rd F150 and new to lexus. In my F150 forums I could find anything I needed . I think Lexus owners are less mechanically inclined..

Could be, I bet the average age is a bit more than the F150 forum....I know my hands are in such bad shape I don't do much mechanically anymore.

Yea.

It's either people haven't reached to that point yet, sold the vehicle or don't want to post.

For those that replaced the FSport struts/shocks with aftermarket, what kind of ride difference have you noticed?

My '17 is at over 125k miles (200k+ km) and I need to replace a strut bearing but now wondering if it's time to actually replace the struts themsevles. Definitely not spending the money on the overpriced oem ones.

Does anyone make adjustable struts/shocks that fit our cars?

Has anyone swapped to TEIN EnduraPro Plus? They're fully adjustable.

Those do mention a 0.5" drop, I would prefer no drop even if that is pretty small and probably not noticable.
