Awesome work man. Nice find on the leak and picture to show. Ben

Unfortunately it wasn’t apparent where the leak was coming from. I am confident the shock mount horn was dry above (should have ruled out the o-ring), and the leak/wet was originating at the top of the shock body between the shock and the frame, while installed. The old o-ring was in great...

Received parts and swapped out the shock/hardware yesterday. Swapped the parts, bled the system, no leaks, and its riding smooth. Special thanks to @suprarx7nut for advice and this post with the FSM Procedure for shock replacement Also thanks to @2001LC for this picture detailing the...

You're right, the shock isn't $400, paid $242 for the shock, ($204 from McGeorge) but for everything it was right around $400. Here is what I ended up going with from Lexus of Oxnard Parts. Slightly more expensive than McGeorge (now Ourisman Toyota of Richmond Parts) but Oxnard is offering free...

Thanks all for the replies/input. I went ahead and ordered a new shock and hardware/o rings/cushions to go with with it. I'll update once complete.

Thanks for the link. Definitely good info if I get into replacing the shock and associated hardware. Thanks again. Ben

Thanks for the feedback. Hasn't sat for more than a few days since I've owned it the last 7-8 years. Original owner was in PA/VA, I've had it in VA/IN so it does have some corrosion on the underside. My thinking is that if this failed, are the other shocks, globes, etc... on the verge of...

Hello all, Looking for a few opinions on this. I went camping this weekend, parked the LX Friday and didn't move it all weekend, came out Sunday morning and it looked like this; The front was noticeably lower and there was a big puddle of AHC oil just behind the front passenger tire. After...

uHu, Thanks again. I replaced the driver's side sensor and everything is back to normal. It is frustrating troubleshooting when the symptoms aren't consistent. I can only guess the old ride height sensor was giving erratic indications causing erratic AHC movement. Thanks again for the help...

uHu, I checked the rear sensor and it looks clean/same as front. I know I need to get Techstream running, especially if I"m going to keep the AHC on this thing. Based on my understanding (limited) of the system though, it seems like it has to be a sensor issue. Do you know how the two front...

uHu, Thanks for the response. I cleaned up the inside, both looked pretty clean beforehand so I'm not sure it did much. I measured the resistance like you said and had a decrease throughout the arc. Also had good continuity between the spring contacts and the pigtail ends. Now I'm totally...

All, I'm attempting to troubleshoot an issue with the AHC on my 2003 LX470 and just want to check and make sure my logic is sound. Recently, I noticed the front end seemed very high, as in nose up. The interior indicator shows "N" but the front is definitely higher and ride is...

Not to keep this saga going but just as another data point, this also just happened on my 2003 LX470 with 93,000 miles. -In attempting to save a few bucks I ordered just the cam shaft that several folks have mentioned on this and other threads on Amazon Bross BSP34. At $32 shipped I figured it...
