Much appreciated ... Here's another variable to just make things even more complicated ... CV boot/axle on the right side was noted to need a change due to some tears in the boot itself. At the time of inspection, there was no noticeable grease, but checked it this morning before driving, and...

How do you guarantee perfect center of you don't have a tool/computer/techstream? Finding a completely flat surface that has 8-10 seconds of drive time at 25-30mph is quite difficult in the Rocky Mountains, so any advice would be great here.

That was done by a shop yesterday and it still didn't work unfortunately. I guess I can try it again?

I've just read about things like the Andy Mod where you can disable these at the push of a button or pulling the connection from the master brake cylinder if it's a persistent issue. Basically disables all VSC, TRAC (and ABS) without having to lock the center diff.

Good to know and certainly try to determine. Is there anyway to just deactivate the slip indicator and/or VSC system since it appears the mods have created all the problems? At this point, this safety feature seems to cause more harm than good.

Not that I'm aware ... How might this make a difference? I talked to another shop and they basically implied I could pay to fix everything and it still may not make a difference with this ... Which seems bizarre since it wasn't an issue before this works was finished.

Shop is attempting to do the ZPC today. Vehicle did the same thing again when driving to it under the same conditions (right hand turn, 40-45 mph, slightly sharper than normal). Pretty unnerving not knowing exactly when it will happen. I got the codes that were pulled yesterday to see if that...

Is this something the shop should/can do?

2004 GX470 with 150k miles ... Replaced the air suspension with coils and now has a 3" lift

Know it's an old thread but happened to me to day after installing a new steering rack and pinion and upper control arms ... Issue didn't occur until after this job ... Hopeful to learn some next steps

I hope everyone is doing well and I'm hopeful that I can get some advice from those who know more than me. I just purchased a 2004 GX470 and frankly, it's been thing after thing. I will spare the irrelevant details, but after seeing multiple mechanics over the last few weeks, it was uncovered...
