No worries, as a matter of fact I feel bad that I didn’t follow up. The Lexconnection in Portland was the go to here for sure. I spoke with the owner and after a few minutes I knew this was the place hands down. LexConnection | Lexus & Toyota Sales & Service in Portland, Maine -...
Thanks everyone who replied, I appreciate all the advise and perspectives. I was going to go with the Nitros, but was on the edge with the Mevotecs anyway; so I just pulled the trigger on a left and right upper even though we just needed to do just a drivers side. I’ll have a better seat of the...
Thanks, glad you noticed that in the verbage! One of my possible prerequisites was to install a set that’d work with a stock setup but be up to a torsion bar level in the future. I saw those but neglected to get far enough into the details to realize I could use them! Thanks!
Good morning, we’ve come to the end of the road so to speak with the upper control arms on our 03 LX470. The quick question is: has anyone used and care to comment on Moog/Delphi/AcDelco upper control arms? Our LX is being reduced to our 3rd, a backup rig in affect, and I’m not into paying for...
Evening Fellas, I suppose I could write a novel but I’ll try for the quick and dirty. We had our clean 03 Fla LX470 into the most local Lexus Indi in Portland Maine today for a harsh ride issue in the front end. I was thinking the torsion bars needed adjustment or possibly a globe issue. The...
Great advise, and spoken like a seasoned vet. This prompts a question or two from me if the OP wouldnt mind. Feel free to PM if you prefer. If one decided on the 1.5-2” lift/AHC delete for an LX thats a soccer mom rig, nothing beyond. What kit-kits would you suggest? Thanks.
I head ya. When I talked to the service writer about a week ago they were about 1-1/2 weeks out, not too bad. I’ll let you know my feelings after some repairs.
I feel for you! I’m down in Alna and have been looking for a capable Indi wrench to tend to a few items due to time restraints. I’m an engineer and fortunately/unfortunately have the skills, but really zero time. Recently the clear winner (I think) is LexConnection | Lexus & Toyota Sales &...
I’m going to assume they would but I’d also have to assume that AHC services at dealers are few and far between. Playing amateur autophile I think that the degradation of attentive stewards over the ownership of these rigs is a real thing. Assuming by the time there is an actual “need” for AHC...
I did the flush as well. I cant get my techstream to work and I dont have the time to **** with it. We need the bar maintenance above all else at this point.
Anyone here in NewEngland know of someone who’d be willing to do an AHC baseline/fluid flush, torsion bar reset, etc on our LX470? We’re headed to Brimfield Mass from Midcoast Maine on the 12th and headed back on the afternoon of Sat the 14th. We could drop the LX off on the way south Thursday...
Afternoon and Merry Christmas, attached is a pic of the link page to which your directed to download the Techstream. Does it appear to be the correct version? When I concluded the download the information page said the software was for XP and was 32bit? Is this correct? Thanks
