Will rear hydraulic shocks from a 2001 LX470 fit a 1998 LX470? (1 Viewer)

Hey guys,
I'm looking to replace my rear hydraulic shocks on my 1998 LX 470 with some gently used ones from a 2001 LX 470. The part numbers are different. Can anyone confirm that the 2001 shocks will fit in my 1998? Thanks in advance for your help

I don't know but you can use Partsourq to compare if you find a 2001 LX vin you can plug in. I think I read different years use different o-rings where the AHC lines connect on top.

Any 2001 LX 470 owners out there care to share VIN so I can see if the rear hydraulic shocks are compatible with my 1998 in partsourq?

PartSourq shows a different part number for the 98-99 for the rear shock compared to the 99-2002. Not sure of what the difference is.

Does anyone know the difference between the rear hydraulic shock part number 48530 69106 for a 98-99 and the rear hydraulic shock part number 48530 69107 for a 99-2002 LX 470? I'm looking to replace my rusty shocks in my 98 with some gently used ones from a 2001 and want to ensure compatibility.

Not sure about the rear, but the fronts are different. The little nipple where the hydraulic line bolts to the shock is bigger on the 2000+ shocks.

Ah ok. Most likely the same for the rear. Thank you
