Nope. The only one coming up is 917-537, includes the reluctor ring and #1/#2 dust deflector, which is for the really popular cars, such as the Camry FWD. It also only fits the RX300, all corners.

The SC/GS/LS/Supra rear half-shafts just don't seem to be covered by Dorman. The only place that we can find them is reluctorrings.com, and they cost almost as much as a new axle shaft.

Where did you get the reluctor ring from... are they still available?

Did some digging...
Dorman 917-537 appears to be the medium-duty ring, and appears to fit the RX300.
Dorman 917-552 appears to fit the light-duty ring, such as the Corolla/Matrix/etc.
Dorman 917-554 looks like the light/medium pickups.

Called Dorman, and they do not carry a rear ABS reluctor ring, for the GS400 (or compatible axle shaft). Argh.

Looks like https://www.reluctorrings.com/cars/lexus has part number 48-T-799-96, yet are about $50/per. Looks like replacement axle shafts might be the only option.
Thx!

You can't use any ring that will fit. The number of teeth and the spacing have to match what the ECU expects.

Go A1Cardone from NAPA. You'll get a fully reworked OEM set of axles with new bearings and reluctor ring.
