TRQ Rear Right Complete Strut & Coil Spring Assembly - Direct Fit

In this review of the TRQ Rear Right Complete Strut & Coil Spring Assembly, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, cost-conscious replacement for owners of compatible 2004-2007 Lexus RX and 2004-2007 Toyota Highlander models who need a direct-fit rear passenger strut with spring included. The reviewer found the assembly to be a true OE replacement in fit and function for most buyers, providing the key benefit of restoring rear suspension performance without the need to source separate parts. This review focuses on fitment, build details, and real user feedback to help shoppers decide if it is the right repair option.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The assembly is built as a vehicle specific OE replacement so it installs in place of the original strut and spring without modifying suspension geometry for properly matched models.
• Complete Assembly: Comes with the strut, coil spring and strut mount included so users can replace the whole rear passenger unit in one job and avoid separate part sourcing delays.
• Gas Charged Design: The gas charged strut provides consistent damping to restore rear ride quality and reduce the squatting or harshness common to worn shock absorbers.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment Info: The listing includes precise fitment notes for 2004-2007 Lexus RX330/RX350 and 2004-2007 Toyota Highlander variants to ensure buyers confirm compatibility before purchase.
• Aftermarket Reference Numbers: Uses known aftermarket reference numbers (15902, 172213) to help match part records and cross-reference service guides when ordering.

Who It's For

This assembly is best for DIY mechanics and independent repair shops replacing a failed rear passenger strut on compatible Lexus RX330/RX350 and Toyota Highlander models that use a front wheel drive rear arrangement without air suspension. It especially suits owners who prefer swapping a ready-to-install unit rather than rebuilding the original strut and spring.

Owners of vehicles with air suspension, uncommon VIN variations, or those who require a different mounting configuration should look elsewhere or verify fitment closely, because the product is specific to non-air suspension rear passenger sides and certain VIN digits noted in the listing.

Pros & Cons

Pros
