Default My first lexus!!!

hi, I just got my first lexus its 2007 ls460 base model. I picked it up for a really good price, all of the major recall items were already replaced but im getting the dreded cluck from the back end. Just wondering what is the best strut shock absorber I can get that will give me close to the original ride quality.

Is it air suspension?

Congrats!The original standard shocks are KYB and if you have air ride, I don't know but, I'm sure someone will chime in. Now let's see some pics!!

In standard shocks, the OEM shock is a perfect match with best ride. It's reasonably priced and many members recommend it. Look at Vendor Marketplace forum at the top of page for affordable sources.

jason the clunking noise is coming from the rear top strut mount be sure to replace them an I highly recommend OEM over KYB for original ride quality
