Lexus 48531-0E211 ABSORBER, Shock, Rear

Reattach the brake hose bracket to the strut and the wheel speed sensor wiring harness bracket.

When removing/replacing any rear suspension arms, loosely tighten all the bolts, move the suspension to its normal ride-height angle and position, then fully tighten the bolts.

Install the rear shock absorber into the mounting brackets, then install the nut/bolts and temporarily hand tighten them.

If the struts or coil springs exhibit signs of wear such as leaking fluid, loss of damping capability, or physical damage, explore all options before beginning any work. The strut/shock absorber assemblies are not serviceable and must be replaced if a problem develops. Strut assemblies complete with springs may be available on an exchange basis, which can save time and effort. Always check the cost and availability of parts before disassembling your vehicle.
