The ES300 uses parts from both the Avalon and the Camry. The motor resembles and uses the Avalon parts, while the body (brakes, rotors, calipers, etc) uses Camry parts. The best way is to call Lexus up and ask for part numbers on components you're replacing, and see if the Toyota dealership has the same matching part number. Toyota Parts Department cannot access Lexus part numbers, but they do share the same part numbers. Good luck
97-99, for some parts 97-01.
No, they are not. It is possible that some parts that can be interchanged but it will be next to impossible to find out which ones.
The 1999 Toyota Camry shares many interchangeable parts with the 1997 and 1998 models, as they are part of the same generation (the XV20). Additionally, certain parts may also be compatible with the 2000 and 2001 Camry, though it's important to verify specifics based on the part type. For the best compatibility, it's advisable to consult a parts specialist or reference a detailed parts catalog.

Toyota Parts for LexusIn many cases they are. Mainly with drive and suspension. Not much in body and interior parts. I use a nearby Toyota dealer for convenience rather than drive 20 miles or so to a Lexus dealer. My car is a '97 ES-300 and I start out by asking for '97 Camry parts. ( Incidently the Avalon is part of the group also) I have changed front strut supports, coolant, spark plugs and wires, filters for air, fuel, oil and transmission internal, using Toyota parts. I always brought the old parts in for exact comparison because Toyota uses a different parts numbering system and they evidently can't access Lexus parts numbers. I think my replacement EGR assy. and throttle sensor could have come from Toyota also but there could be calibration differences as the Lexus V6 makes a little more power. No apparent price differences, but the trip through the Lexus facility does make one feel richer!
Interchangeable is an adjective; parts is a noun.
Lexus and Toyota share many parts due to their parent company, Toyota Motor Corporation. Some interchangeable parts include engines, transmissions, suspension components, and electrical modules. However, it is crucial to verify compatibility based on specific models, years, and trim levels to ensure proper fitment and functionality. Consulting a professional mechanic or referencing detailed parts catalogs is recommended for accurate interchangeability information.
