Rear Coil Spring

[allcitydons]

Hi, I have a 2011 450h with the off side rear coil spring snapped. 

48231-48581 is the part number for the broken spring on the vehicle.

I don't fancy paying the extortionate main dealer prices so I'm browsing eBay, so far only 4th gen rear coil springs are available to buy. Does anyone know if the later 4th generation rear coil springs fit the earlier 3rd generation?

Thanks

If you look at LexusPartsDirect website, you can get these for (just) under £200 https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/?s=48231-48581&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1

but I'm sure that many of our members use spares sites in the USA & Japan and save money doing so, (including extortionate shipping costs

Both my rears snapped between 2018 and 2020; both times bought second hand ones off eBay £20 each both times, they are still going strong. At the time they were off 2013 models, easy to fit as well. Another option if on a budget.

This would be my preferred route.. I plan on updating to a later RX towards the end of the year, so I don't really want to be spending too much money on it - Not that it doesn't deserve having money spent on it, it has been a fantastic family car over the years!

I'm not having any joy sourcing second hand rear springs, lots for earlier and later models. Nothing second hand for 09-15 models unfortunately 🤔

The search continues...

Thanks for searching, my RX is the 09-15 model, unfortunately I can't find any rear coil springs for that that model for some reason. 

If the later (15-22) coil springs were compatible with my earlier RX I wouldn't hesitate in buying the ones you shared.. But annoyingly I have no way of finding out if they would fit ok. Thanks 👍

Hi all, I've just removed the rear coil spring from my RX. Does anyone know what the green and purple dots relate to? Can these be cross referenced to the correct part number? Thanks
