front shock absorber

Are the front shock absorber the same on a FWD and Sport Hybrid AWD? I have a 2014 ACURA RLX Sport Hybrid AWD. EBAY says they are compatible, other sites say they are not. Thank you.

I would call your local Acura parts department for a quote and part number. Sometimes, Acura parts department might meet online prices and can have faster/cheaper shipping. I would really double-check on the front suspension part number because the 18-20 RLX suspension is tuned softer and can be a bit bouncy and floaty.

Depending on the year, yes and no. The P-AWS cars from 2014-2015 had stiffer struts. I believe the 2016-2020 struts are the same. Have to check though.

Nope the 2014 SHs have a different part no. to all the other years. The other years will probably fit, but expect a different ride.

LOL...I've used Ebay since I was a teenager for random things auto and non auto. They've always had a good reference point on parts fitment, except this time, as per the others replies.
