Dorman 540-205 Suspension Strut Bumper - Rear

Rear Suspension Strut Bumper for Toyota and Lexus

Dorman 540-205 is a rear suspension strut bumper built with rubber and steel materials to replace deteriorated foam OE bumpers on select Toyota and Lexus vehicles. It addresses the common wear that can lead to clunking from strut-to-frame contact over rough roads.

Compatible with rear applications on Toyota Camry, Avalon, Venza, Highlander, and Lexus ES-series models, this OE FIX design uses a more durable rubber construction for a longer-lasting repair. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Detailed Description

Dorman 540-205 is engineered for rear suspension service on 1997-2015 Toyota and Lexus vehicles, including Toyota Camry, Avalon, Venza, Highlander, and Lexus ES300, ES330, and ES350. The original foam bumper used in these applications can break down from age, road exposure, and fatigue, allowing the strut to bottom out against the frame and create clunking or vibration noise. This replacement uses rubber construction with steel reinforcement to restore the bumper function and improve long-term durability. If you are searching for a rear strut bumper for 1997-2011 Toyota Camry or a rear suspension bumper for 2007-2012 Lexus ES350, part number 540-205 is the direct-fit service part to check.

What It Helps Solve

• Clunking noises from rear suspension movement
• Vibration transmitted through the cabin over rough roads
• Contact between the strut and vehicle frame
• Failure of deteriorated foam OE bumpers
• Repeat repairs caused by short-lived replacement materials

Installation Notes and Tips

Quality Assurance
