Default Snap!!! Blow front AVS strut - all options?
I went through FAQ and Suspension forums - the only thing I’m finding is J5 as AVS compatible, and the website doesn’t work? I don’t want to drop God knows what at Lexus Parts for a replacement strut that may blow again. My 2014 GS350 FSport has 35K miles on it, 5K with Tanabe springs and now a blown strut. :-(
What are all my options? I literally just paid for Kings on my Tundra yesterday - now this! :-(

Thank you! I think those are for non-FSport though. :-( if you read down further is says non-FSport. I tried calling and the number doesn’t work to the Lexus Parts store.
Called my local lexus, and one strut is $430!

Call your local Lexus dealer, get the part numbers, then check discount parts monster.

Right under the part number "48510-80679" it says "Replaces 48510-80565"
The description for that says:Absorber Assy, Shock, Front RH
MARK 48510-30B00,F SPORT
MARK 48510-30B00,VERSION L
MARK 48510-30B00

Just provide your vin number and they will confirm the correct part number. The online lexus dealer sites are usually 30% off the list price, don't buy from local dealer.

I’m finding out it is indeed too long. That’s what the parts guy gave me.
Thank you! I’ll check those sites.
