Confirmed: Left, Right, and Hybrid Status All Genuinely Differ

Lexus CT200h Rear Shock Absorber: The Part That Takes Every Bump Before You Feel It
The Lexus CT200h's front end tends to dominate suspension conversations since it steers the car, but rear shock wear happens at a comparable rate — just with subtler warning signs that often get blamed on road noise until they're too obvious to ignore.
Lexus CT200h Rear Shock Absorber: OEM Part Number
| Petrol/non-hybrid, right | Genuinely a different part number from the left-side shock, and from the hybrid version below — confirm side and powertrain before ordering |
|---|---|
| Petrol/non-hybrid, left | A genuinely different reference from the right-side shock above |
| Hybrid, right/left | Lexus's own parts catalogue lists hybrid struts as genuinely separate references from non-hybrid, reflecting the different weight distribution and load profile of the hybrid drivetrain |
| F Sport, where fitted | A genuinely different, stiffer shock from standard trims |
One-sided replacement can leave mismatched damping across the Lexus CT200h's axle, which is why doing shock absorbers in pairs is the more consistent choice, even with just one visibly failed.
