Hey all - Who has the best prices shipped on all 4 OEM struts for a 2005 now that Sewell parts is out of the game (they used to sell for about $550 for a set IIRC on their website)? Recently a pothole blew my right rear seal and at 135k miles I'd rather pay a little extra to get OEM ride I love as I'll be doing the labor to replace all 4 at the same time.

Thanks for help with links!

Try Bell Lexus. They have a store on ebay. Or Google them and give them a call.

Another vote for Bell Lexus. They've been great in all of the requests I've thrown at them for parts for both of my Lexus cars. In fact, I'm about to hit them up for rear shocks for my LS pretty soon.

All of my oem parts I used on my 2005 LS430 were purchased from Bell Lexus of Scottsdale, they shipped fast and pretty well packaging, I recently purchased all brake rotors, pads and caliper bolts from them, their price are so competitive vs local Lexus dealer, don't forget...they provide the same warranty as local dealer because they are Lexus dealer also.

I highly recommend them.

I live 5 min from Bell Lexus and they are great but I still use https://www.mylparts.com/ on occasion as they offer a 10% Club Lexus discount with code CL5.

This is very helpful information thanks, I plan to survey all options I see on this thread to find lowest price and will report back what I learn (including giving my local dealer the opportunity to earn my business as well of course ). Thanks and keep the recommendations coming!

Wow....I give you credit for being able to handle the labor yourself. I actually did have to replace my front struts (although only one was bad) due to a noise we just could not get rid of. Turns out it was coming from one of the struts. The struts were doing the job but the noise drove me crazy. I replaced both, because that's me. I had it done at lexus (JM) and of course they took me over the coals to replace both front struts. My rears are hanging in there with no leaks and hopefully I won't have to replace those for some time if ever? Not sure of prices for parts and in this case the labor was the biggest part. Glad to find someone who thinks as I do with going with OEM parts. Always have and always will. Less aggravation in the long run....PS....I forgot to mention. JM gives a lifetime warranty on any work done by them if you use their parts. Less than one year after install one of the shocks was leaking. They replaced it with no questions asked. I guess that's one positive for paying the big bucks for going there.

If you are doing the work yourself this little trick for the rears is a LIFE SAVER !!! The fronts should be pretty straight forward. Forum member rkw77080 put together a nice tutorial, you may have seen it already, which was a great help. The carrier assembly can be rather stubborn when tying everything back together. I was a doubter when I first saw this pic but as it turns out the little jack in your trunk can save the day. Thanks again rkw ! IIRC I didn't have a U bolt handy so I used 3 or 4 heavy zip ties which worked just fine.

I've purchased all my parts from them and have had an amazing experience on every purchase. They are also cheaper than my local dealer. +1 on the recommendation.
