Strut mount replacement
I have a 2013 GS350 Fsport RWD approaching 190k miles. One of my front struts is now leaking and i can hear it clunk every little bump i hit. I figured its time to replace all my struts/shocks so I purchased KYB Gas-A-Just for all 4 corners. I also ordered Tanabe NF210 springs. I want to replace the top strut mounts while im at it. Any suggestions for OE strut mount replacements? Any help would be appreciated.

While I can't help for a suggestion, I also have a 2013 GS350 Sport, RWD, 188K miles and last month I also found my front right strut was leaking. It was a $2,600 repair at Lexus. Wondering what other repairs you are finding at this mileage.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Let me us know after your install how the Tanabe springs are. One of my front struts are leaking on my 2013 gs350 f sport. I was also looking at the kyb but do want to lower the car without losing ride quality.

RE: Timing Cover Gasket
Man $2600 is steep! i paid about $530 for the KYB struts and $300 for the Tanabe springs. Now to find a good shop that will install them. Only big repair I've been told about is a leak in the Timing Cover Gasket which I've been quoted around $3000 for the fix by 2 different places. Supposedly its a very minor leak and nothing too serious for now i guess. Just have to wait and see how it plays out haha.
Timing cover gasket. UGH. I haven't had to replace that yet. Not in any of my previous Lexus' either. That sounds super steep and not anything I'm looking forward to. How did you see the leak or notice it needed to be changed?
