Default Suspension 2001 and 2004 year

What is the difference between "CYLINDER ASSY, PNEUMATIC REAR RH W/SHOCK ABSORBER" code 48080-50110 for LS430 2001 and code 48080-50140 for LS430 2004 model year? Everything else is suspension looks the same.

I have no idea, but it's very interesting that Euro and US spec 01-03' UL models have the same struts in contrast with the facelifted LS's according to their part numbers...

Now I know. I changed both old rear air suspension struts on my LS430 model 2001 to struts from model 2004. Everything fine!

It's good to know that both struts are interchangeable. Probably the ones for the 04-06' models are just redesigned to last longer like 5.000 miles more then the older ones and that's why the part numbers are different.

I'm just curious whether you have US or Euro spec LS, since you are located in Moscow and what part numbers have your new struts....
