Default 2011 RWD Ls460 Rear Brake sensors

did not see this on any prior posts: the REAR sensors seem to be much different in price. Left rear more expensive than right rear. is this correct? seems strange but that is what i am seeing. right rears 6-10 bucks. left rear 32-100. does anyone know if they actually are different and need different sensor? much thanks!

I'm not sure where you're finding these prices but I picked up the Raybestos sensors on Amazon for less than $20 total.

There are only 2 sensors to replace. One on the front passenger side and one on the rear passenger side unless they changed it for other model years (my car is a 2007 swb with regular brakes).

no, there are 4. i think 2007-2010 there are just 2. there are 4 on mine for sure. i think that was something new on 2011/up. thats whats confusing to me. 3/4 are cheap compared to the driver rear!

Are they interchangeable or are they different?

I wish I could be of more help. The only other thing I would suggest is to see if you can put your stock ones from one side to the other and see if it works, if not you'll have to bite the bullet and buy all four.

They definitely changed it at some point of time. I have 2011 LWB with regular brakes and I have 2 sensors in the rear.
