Lexus 48540-A9150 Absorber Assy, Shock, Rear LH

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 48540-A9150 fits your vehicle.

If the struts or coil springs exhibit signs of wear such as leaking fluid, loss of damping capability, or physical damage, explore all options before beginning any work. The strut/shock absorber assemblies are not serviceable and must be replaced if a problem develops. Strut assemblies complete with springs may be available on an exchange basis, which can save time and effort. Always check the cost and availability of parts before disassembling your vehicle.

Mark the position of the steering knuckle to the strut before removing the strut-to-knuckle nuts and knocking the bolts out with a hammer and punch.

Have an assistant maneuver the assembly up into the fenderwell and insert the mounting studs through the holes in the body. Install the nuts, but don't tighten them yet.

Install the dust seal and suspension support to the damper shaft, then install the damper nut and tighten it to the specified torque. Finally, remove the spring compressor tool and install the strut/spring assembly as per Section 3 (front) or Section 10 (rear).

Check for chips or cracks in the spring coating and inspect the spring seal for cuts, hardness, and general deterioration.

Disconnect the stabilizer bar link from the strut.
