Do you have a dial indicator on a magnetic base? You can see how out of round the bearing surface is while rotating the wheel/axle. Also see if there is any play when you grab the axle and move it up/down and fwd/rear.

AFAIK all compressors only have two ports (low and high pressure). The rear A/C tee's off somewhere near the firewall. Here is a picture of the ports of a brand new (old stock) 471-1005 Denso compressor intended for a vehicle equipped with rear...

In the picture above, the cam's are timed correctly to each other. However, I can not make out the little divot on the crank. Since L&R cams are timed correctly wrt to each other, one would expect similar compression readings L&R. One other...

Regarding your timing pictures. Once you turn the engine over, you can no longer use the marks on the belt to determine if the timing is correct. There are marks on the crank and cam pulleys to check the timing. Typically they have a small amount...

That bore looks pretty good. Is there any raised edge (step) at the bore to corroded outside? The axle looks pretty good. According to SKF, that seal spec is for a 1.850" (47mm) axle. Are you able to accurately measure the OD of the shaft where...

Don't use a power sander or grinder. I used some fine grit emery cloth (#320) to smooth out the inner bore. Just at the are of any rough spots. Otherwise roughness of the corroded area was scraping the rubbery coating on the outside of the seal...

A couple of things come to mind: Did you fill the rear of the seal with grease to keep the spring in place during installation? It is not in your list of steps above. This will prevent the spring from popping out as you tap the seal into place...

"when I disconnect the connectors from the ABS everything is ok": I'm assuming you mean the fuse will not blow, but you have no boosted brakes? The ABS MTR circuit powers the booster motor. The purpose of the booster motor is to pump high...

If your driver window switch is able to operate the driver window, that means power/grounds are OK to the switch and the door opener. To open the other windows from the driver seat, a multiplexed signal goes from the driver door switch to the...

Rear water bypass pipe gasket leak? Pretty common on the 2UZ. Very often passenger side. From underneath the vehicle it looks like a head gasket failure as the coolant runs along the block. Look up from behind the wheels to the back of the engine.

Problem solved. The sensors were not in sync. The readings were 2 inches off. Once I adjusted them to within .1 inch on level ground, everything leveled and stayed level. My guess is the dramatic reading difference confused the computer and it...

Telltale sign would be the compressor coming on in that first mile of driving. If it is trying to make up for lost air, it would be a leak (or combination of many tiny leaks). If it is not coming on, it would be the result of the AHC ecu...

When parked, the active height control is inactive. However, the system is still pressurized and if your vehicle stays up when parked for days, there is no air leak. Once you start driving, the height control ECU monitors the sensors and bleeds...

I You were right, it was a cable issue. Got the Tacrix one and everything works exactly as it should. Thanks!

ECM and cruise control is actually the same ECU. There is no stand-alone cruise control ECU. It is handled by the ECM. CAN modules: ECM (incl. transmission and cruise), yaw rate sensor, steering angle sensor, ABS unit with actuator K-line...

By first two modules, you probably refer to the ECM and ABS modules? Those modules communicate with the via CAN protocol in the '08 GX. Most other modules (TPMS, air suspension etc), communicate via the KLINE protocol. These to protocols use...
