KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344338
KYB 5540013 rear shock absorber for the 2013-2020 Lexus GS350 and other vehicles is a high-pressure monotube gas shock that damps rear spring movement. This KYB shock absorber is a Gas-a-just monotube sold as an OE replacement to restore the vehicle's original capabilities.
A worn suspension shock absorber can show up as fluid leaking from the body, a bouncy ride or slower steering response. Those signs alone do not prove the shock is at fault, since worn tires can feel similar. The rear takes two, one on each side of the axle, so order two and fit them together.
The vehicles it fits include the 2013-2020 Lexus GS350, the 2018-2019 Lexus GS300 and the 2015-2018 Lexus RC350.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this KYB rear shock absorber right for the 2018-2019 Lexus GS300?
Yes, KYB 5540013 fits the 2018-2019 Lexus GS300 and the 2013-2020 Lexus GS350. If your Lexus is another model, look it up on the Buyer's Guide tab.
What gas is in this KYB gas shock absorber?
KYB 5540013 has a second working chamber filled with high-pressure nitrogen gas and a floating piston. The hydraulic piston and valve area beside it is air-free.
Does the KYB Gas-a-just shock absorber have a chrome piston rod?
Yes, the piston rod is triple chrome plated and ultra-smooth. It is meant to reduce seal wear, because fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
How do I spot a leaking rear shock absorber on this monotube?
With the engine off and the car cool, look for an oily film on the shock absorber body. A bouncy ride or slower steering response can also point to a worn shock absorber.
Is this monotube rear shock absorber designed for towing and larger wheels?
Yes, Gas-a-just monotubes like this one are designed for vehicles that work, tow and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
