Easy to follow tutorial, thanks for the tip about adding a preload, and adding the torque specs.
i imagine you could use a laser level and measure the difference, i think that would be the only accurate way
Hello Viktor do you know the difference between shock absorber 4854048400 vs 4854048392. On my 2018 RX I have rear shock 4854048392. The question is if I can fit there the newer shock 4854048400?
can i ask why you need to have about 1" rise before tightening? im thinking my RX450h is slightly tilted to the left, could this be the issue? the passenger side (UK) is lower then the driver side by about 0.5"
Excellent video!!!
What’s the torque spec on those 2 bolts?
Is there a mount(like the front) that we have to replace in the back?
Is there a torque spec for the shocks absorbers?
Viktor, once and for all could you settle this for me? haha ….2016-2022 RX350 vs RX350 F-Sport – Is there any difference in the suspension or shocks and struts used between these two? Or is it all cosmetic? THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Hi Victor!
Do you have an idea where can I find the repear manual for Lexus es300h 2024 !?
My rear shock is gone. It looks eas at the beginning …3 bolts, but the bottom one is very long, and there should be some better way to take it off that I still can not figure out?
Thank you! Best!

Es ist sehr schön
Great video! Can you do a video for 2010 lexus rx 350 how to change brake fluid?
Thank you once again Viktor for your great videos. All of your hard work is truly appreciated by many.
A rear trailing arm replacement video for Rx450h would be really helpful as my trailing arm bushes are worn, and need some vidoes to help me change those
How often do the shock absorbers need to be replaced?
Is it ok to reuse the original bolts with the kyb shocks? Or are new bolts required? Thanks and great videos!
I wonder if there's a way to mark the height of the suspension relative to the ground prior to removing the old shock absorber, then compress to the same height. Perhaps also measure the bottom clearance between the car frame and the ground as a static point of reference.
There are a few pretty good how-to videos for this job. This video is, BY FAR, the best one. Thank you.
The only video I have found that says to put the shock under load before tightening. The difference between a technician and a MASTER technician. Great video. Thank you.
Can I replace the air suspension with springs?
Also I think first change the front suspension and let the rear air bags.
The rear springs are they the same with fourth generation?
Hi Viktor, do you have the process for replacement of the front shocks for the 2016-2022 RX? I found your video for 2010-2015, but the Lexus manual seems to show a different process for 2016-2022 RX. It looks confusing, and a video would really help, thanks!
Is it the same process for 2020 rx 350 fwd?
