My wife's RX is 13 years old and approaching 100k miles.  Starting to consider replacing the front and rear struts.  Have talked to several shops and they say it makes sense to buy the complete strut assemblies.  You get all new parts and it reduces the labor required to install.  Anyone have any recommendations on brands other than OEM and sources to purchase.  Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, Randall.

We have 134,000 miles on our RX400h and the suspension is still just fine. Is there a reason why you believe your suspension is getting worn out?

Regarding replacement parts: I like to buy OEM parts on any of some websites like:
lexuspartsnow.com
lexusoeparts.com
parts.lexus.com
lexusdirectparts.com

For non and some OEM parts (like sparkplugs), I like rockauto.com

I used KYB complete struts when I had my 2008 Highlander which is basically the same car. We installed them ourselves and then brought in for wheel alignment. Plenty of how-to videos on YT.
