- Does this fit my RX?
- It fits 2016–2020 Lexus RX350 and RX450h, front left (driver side). Check the manufacturer mark 48520-0E250 against your car before ordering, since Lexus uses different struts across trims and years.
- Is this a full strut or just a shock?
- It is the complete absorber assembly, listed as Absorber Assy, Shock, Front LH. The box contains the shock absorber and a nut.
- Should I replace both front struts at once?
- Yes, in most cases. Worn struts on one side usually mean the other is close behind, and replacing both keeps the ride balanced. Budget for the right-hand unit as well.
- Is $225.67 a good price?
- It is close to the $222.03 LexusPartsNow figure and only a few dollars above it, so the two new listings are in line. There is little room to save by waiting on this part.
- Do I need an alignment after installing it?
- Yes. Replacing a front strut changes suspension geometry, so have the alignment checked afterward to avoid uneven tire wear.
- Is an OEM strut worth it over aftermarket?
- OEM keeps the factory damping and fit, which matters on a luxury SUV like the RX. Aftermarket struts cost less but can change ride feel and may not last as long.
