    Rear shock leaking, AHC issue?

    The AHC 'shocks' are simply hydraulic jacks---nothing inside to wear. Leaking has two related causes. 1) failure to regularly change the oil in the system--ALL of it, not just the reservoir. Oil does not circulate in the system unless you change the height setting. The shaft seals will get...

    Changing out the AHC suspension fluid?

    the 'gas springs' or accumulators (actuators in Toyota speak) are dead. Check for contamination using the Water Reaction Test (below) as even small amounts of most common contaminants will destroy the diaphragms in the 4 wheel accumulators. B and B Suspension LLC AHC FLUID WATER REACTION TEST...

    Fuel Leak Under Hood

    Fuel leak gremlin Sometimes a temporary leak will happen only when the metal line is cold . Aluminum fuel lines are much worse that steel. Start the vehicle and then shut it off after 5-10 sec and search around fuel injectors with a gas sniffer. Many small leaks are all but impossible to see...

    HVAC Line Rust?

    I WOULD TAKE IT TO THE Dealer and have them replace the line. The paint should not flake off like that. Yes modifying the drip line should be step 2. This is not a 'safety related' recall item, but may be a TSB item or will become 1.

    AHC accumulator replacement from McMaster?

    I will repeat an earlier statement, used, old, failed OEM Toyota/Lexus accumulators are NOT rechargeable--they ARE JUNK only. I am NOT calling the new parts inferior in any way--only the one that have already one flat--they ARE junk

    AHC accumulator replacement from McMaster?

    the volumes quoted here ARE NOT correct. B and B Suspension LLC MEASURED the actual volumes and our custom manufactured unit match OEM parts. I am also going to research the potential of the Citroen spheres. The 'rebuildable' units were very heavy and much larger outside diameter because of...
