Is this information deemed reliable and accurate? Can someone verify? Is Bank 1 & 2 Sensor 1 really the exact same? Wire length and everything on both sides? And is Bank 1 & 2 Sensor 2 really the exact same including wire length to plug in location? pPease someone help me out. I plan to do this on my own but I wanna make sure I purchase the right sensors before I make a DIY. I wanna give reliable info to the best of my ability. Please and thanks!!!!!

Okay very funny... ... Is this accurate for a GS430 2001? And If so okay I get it. Bank 1 Sensor 1 is on driver side (left) before the catalyst so that makes it UPSTREAM. And Bank 1 Sensor 2 is on driver side (left... DUHH... lol) after catalyst meaning DOWNSTREAM. Correct? So Bank 2 Sensor 1 is on passenger side (right) before catalyst and Bank 2 Sensor 2 is after catalyst right? But what I really wanna know is if Bank 1 and Bank 2 sensor 2 are both the same? If my part numbers are correct and match up they should be. The only ones that differ are Bank 1 Sensor 1 and Bank 2 Sensor 1. Please LEXUS FANATIC help me out. If this correct info for a 2001 Lexus GS430. ????

I have a 99 GS300 and Bank 1 is actually towards the front of the car not driver's side, and bank 2 is towards the firewall. All of them are on the passenger side of the car/engine; 2 by 3 sets of exhaust manifolds.
Therefore, Bank 1 Sensor 1 is upstream/before Cat on the manifold set towards front of the car and Bank 1 Sensor 2 is downstream/after Cat on manifold set towards front of the car, same concept for Bank 2 sensors except they are on the manifold set towards the firewall.
I hope that helps. No such a thing as Driver side or Passenger side; and to "i ride" who posted that picture, our cars don't have V6 engines, but rather Inline-6 engines, and are RWD not FWD.

Lol Denso isn't made in the USA....If you ever change your spark plugs yourself you will see that Toyota/Lexus installed 4 Denso plugs and 4 NGK plugs in your car so they definitely trust Denso.....Denso is on the same level as NGK.
