Hey guys,
My 98 LX470 has broken both window clips on the bottom of the glass. The ones that attach the glass to the regulator channel/bar (?) I have no idea where to find them online and the guys at the dealership didn't have a clue what I was talking about on the phone. Anyone know where or...
I also forgot to mention, my "comfort" setting does not feel any different than my "sport". Any ideas? Techstream shows that the switch is communicating with the ecu. Or at least with techstream.
Right now I still have my 245/16/16 BFG Radial Long Trail T/As on it. They say "standard load" on the side of them? Does that sound right? I was waiting to get the ride figured out before throwing in another variable.
Hey Guys, thought I would give you and update.
So it rode much better at #3, so I thought maybe I could turn the TB 2 more times and see how that rode.
4. Rear Spacers AND previous TB twist plus 2 more TB turns
Front 6.2mpa
Rear 6.3mpa
Accumulator 10.4mpa
-This was worse, felt like a TB...
Hey Guys,
Thought I would share this quick upgrade to the low beams. I bought this 1999 LX a couple months ago and have been disappointed with the low beam headlight output. The high beams are fine, but the lows suck. I have terrible night vision so I needed a quick upgrade. I did a lot of...
Thanks for all the advice and knowledge guys!
Alrighty...
30mm spacer came in and I installed them in about 1.5 hours. It was a bit tricky to get them in there since I did not remove the entire springs, just dropped it a bunch.
1. Jacked up one side of the axle
2. Put a tall jack stand under...
I like your avatar. Yes, I read the entire thread. "the rear rides nicely, but is definitely more firm. It not harsh though." This is compared to his ride with a rear pressure of 7.1mpa before the springs.
I am hoping for a more cushy ride and I do not plan to add any weight as he does. "Once...
I am in the same boat. My wife loves the LX but not the ride. We are expecting our first child in a couple months and this thing NEEDS a softer ride by then. Or else...
Agree 100%
Praddo- 1st off, thanks for your service to our country.
2nd, Looks like you are pretty close to me. I am in...
Nice. We can figure this out together. The TB twist did help a bunch, just not where I think it should be for a Lexus. I am glad mine is not just due to someone beating on it too hard. I bought it from a family at the coast that towed a small boat every now and then, but nothing crazy or over...

So what all is involved with the sway bar refurb/ actuator bushings?
Sweet! I will def try the TB turns on the ground so I can play with the pressures. I am following what you are saying about metal frequencies, good point.
Ran out and measured my height. They are all pretty close to each...
You guys rock!
Kinger- Yeah, I am not sure I can really tell much difference with the AVS. Techstream shows the various combonations of the 2 "ON/Off"'s working when I select different settings. is that what you mean?
Flint- Haha! Oh yeah, my fluid was black as tar. I could tell a little...
Hey Guys,
I bought a 1999 LX470 with 165k on the clock. It rides extremely rough on expansion joints but handle speed bumps like velvet. It is all stock and I plan to keep it that way except for some 256/75/16BFG's and roof rack.
After spending countless hours on here I decided to buy...
Hey Guys. My "new" 1999 LX470 Pass front door has a bad rattle when you shut the door. I took the inner panel off to have a look. Someone has been in there before and did not reattach the moisture barrier (booo).
