AutoZone is recommending to remove the axle nut. Someone else says they had a problem with the axle because they didn't remove the nut, but didn't say what the problem was. Any clue?
Just want to thank you for taking the time to make this video! I love my RX and it's approaching 100k so I'll have to replace this stuff soon. This looks SUPER simple, and I like doing it myself whenever I can. What kind of shape were the bushings in?
Thanks for the video! I am going to order the Monroe 37361 and 172765/ 172766. Some people have noted that the rear do not quite fit properly. Lexus lists 2 different OEM part numbers for Japan and Canada built. Could you please let me know if your vehicle is Japan or Canada built? If you look in the drivers door jamb sticker, your VIN will start with J if Japan and 2 if Canada. Did you have any trouble with the rear upper part of the shock being too big for the bracket?
I didn’t use Allen wrench to tight my sway bar link. Wondering if that could cause clunking noise when I drive? Everything is tight when I double check. I bought Monroe struts
@@hdom08 Some of these had air suspension, but most did not. The easiest way to tell if yours does, look at the front and rear suspension and see if there is a small air line running to them. If there is no line going into the side, then you do not have the air suspension. Hope this helps!
KonaBlueSVT i wish I had checked TH-cam earlier. I just literally changed out the serpentine belt and had the tire removed. I’ll be sure to look later. Thanks for the info! 🙏🏼
had my alignment done over 3 times on my lexus rx350. And today i took a look at my struts and that rubber hose is torn into pieces.. could that be the issue why my lexus alignment cant be done correctly? Bad struts caused alignment issues? I already checked everything else looks ok. Ball joints,tie rods, all ok.
It is possible if it is worn out enough that it causes the strut to be loose that it is contributing to the problem. The alignment shop should be able to tell you for sure. Another common thing I see is people driving in areas with really rough roads, off curbs, etc that knock vehicles out of alignment.
@@KonaBlueSVT the alignment shop was mavis - they didnt even see my shock was bad. Damm idiots that company hire bad workers. I found the shock damaged myself.
6:35 I move to the rear shocks on this car. Get on Rockauto.com and input your car. Anything that is under the daily driver category will OE style quality.

My mechanic said that the quality of Monroe struts/shocks in recent years is slipping. Advised KYB is highest quality for consumers use.
That is a great video! Descriptive, well shown round. Very helpful. Also everything is well light. Many thanks.

Thank you so much for this video. I was trying to figure out how to get the sway bar link to line back up.
Glad it helped!

Yeah, it was fairly simple.. The bushings were in decent shape still.
@@KonaBlueSVT Sounds good, thanks mate! 🤘
I would love to see how it goes for air struts :/
Nice!
Thanks!
Great video bro 🤙🏽
Thanks
So what are the torque specs ! Great video by the way !
I don't remember what they were on this car. You can find them in any repair manual or repair software.

This was a customer vehicle, I had no problem with the fitment of the parts I ordered.
What name brand of struts you installed on this rx350? Most ppl say kyb brand is best? Cheap Fcs,Ultra power, unity any good?
I believe I did Monroe on this vehicle.
I didn’t use Allen wrench to tight my sway bar link. Wondering if that could cause clunking noise when I drive? Everything is tight when I double check. I bought Monroe struts
Its possible. If you know you didn't tighten it, I would definitely go back and do that.
Is it still holding up ? How many miles do you have on them?@@KonaBlueSVT
This is not my vehicle, but I see the owner all the time. Still holding up great!
Thanks for the video. One question any specific area where a torque wrench is required?
It is always recommended to follow the OEM torque specs!
KonaBlueSVT cool yeah figures didn’t really want to go get the book. Thank you
Thanks for the video. Do you have a link to the parts shown?
I just purchased all the parts off Rock Auto for this job.
@Sky King Do they have more selection? Better pricing? Faster shipping? What makes them better?
Hi, this vid helps a lot!
How does this brand suspension feel on the road? It seems Monroe and KYB are the 2 mane choices.
The Monroes that were put on this car ride great! I would stick with those 2 brands as well
I’m searching on advanced auto parts and what is air stabilizer and without air suspension? Any info would be helpful, thanks guys

Which hose are you talking about? Suspension is important when it comes to alignment.
@@KonaBlueSVT that rubber type bushing thats on the struct assembly that rubber piece that squeezes when it it a bump.
