Default Looking for rear strut part number

My rear strut makes a loud thump upon going over bumps and after searching I've come to the conclusion that it is the passenger rear strut.

I saw many threads on it but none of them listed part numbers. Seems like KYB makes them but what is the exact KYB part number so I can make sure I get an OEM part. I Found some KYB for the GS350 with part number 551108 but wasn't sure if that's the same OEM one.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I found these but KYB carries a few different types. Is this the correct one?

Ive replaced my rear shocks with the same KYB's. They are identical to OEM, same ride same everything.

The rear is 551108 and that works on both sides. This is for cars without the adjustable shocks, if your shocks are tension adjustable they will fit, you just wont be able to adjust them.

I purchased mine on sale at justsuspension.com They were on sale, with free shipping and I found a promo code. It ended up costing me around $85 shipped for both rear shocks.

Thanks!!! just what I was looking for. Did you replace any other parts? Mount, Bumpstop, etc? It's an 07 so I'm sure it doesn't have the adjustable shocks.

I believe it comes with the bumpstops so I must have replaced them.

If your car is AWD KYB does not have front shocks, if youre RWD then do sell the fronts.
