You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 48531-48112 fits your vehicle.

Proceed to the strut disassembly procedure. Note that on 2004 and later Lexus models with modulated air suspension, the strut assembly must be replaced if found faulty.

Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, then raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the rear wheels.

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.

Remove the interior trim covering the upper mounting fasteners for the strut by pulling the plastic trim cover up to remove it.
