My 98 LX 470 recently hit a 178K and I am seeing the early signs of another major haul for suspension. The front struts are beginning to sweat. If history repeats, the front accumulators will soon go and then the back struts and accumulators will follow. The last time the system went bad was...

Spent all day installing a set of Firestone airbags and 30mm spacers on the 99 LX470. Saw a lot of feedback about the Air Lift bags going through the bottom, so just turned the Firestone bags upside down and seems to work so far unless I’m missing something about why they would need to run out...

Greetings all, In short I would like to know the size of the bolt and nut that ties the fluid line to the bracket on top of the shock ( see attachment marked in blue) I have recently bought an lc100 VXR (VXR is the top trim level here in GCC ) with AHC system, The shocks failed when the...

Guys, I've done a lot of searching, but still can't understand where the failure is. LC 2004, with VGRS and AHC. Couple of weeks ago I realised, that the car drives very rough. That's not my daily driver, so maybe the issue progressed longer ago and I just didn't pay attention to it. Anyway, it...

I recently purchased a 2011 LX570 with 77k miles and a clean Carfax (no accidents, 2 owner) in Fayetteville Arkansas, at Honda of Fayetteville sight unseen as I live in Tampa, FL. I requested a full 60k mile service be completed as I wanted to hit the reset button on all service and to ensure...

4 OEM Toyota AHC Globes purchased from eBay less than two weeks ago. Too many parts of my system need replacing, so I am switching to a conventional setup. Globes have less than 100 miles on them. I paid $965, asking $800.

So I just got my 1999 LX470 and found out that the AHC doesn't work. Once I got it home I checked the fuses and they were good. But under the hood found that the relay was missing for the system. Is there any reason they might have taken it out besides them not wanting to use it? and I dont know...

I have a 2000 LX470 with 185k miles that I inherited from my father. Ive been getting everything up to date with maintenance, and the suspension is something I just kind of forgot about until now. My mom has a 2006 LC that has an OME Medium kit on it, and I noticed that my LX was driving rougher...

Hi all, Lately i have problem with my AHC suspension. I can go up and down between Low and Neutral. But not able to go from Neutral to High. After i press the H button, it blink for few seconds then stop blinking. I also found out that the suspension is very stiff. When the car landing down...

Mud, I recently removed the accumulators on my '99 LX to make room for Metal Tech Land Cruiser Sliders. The top bolts on the accumulator assemblies were damn near impossible to get to and even when I got the wrench on I may have gotten 1/16 of a turn on the bolt head. I ended up removing the...

Hi All, Just bought a 1999 Lexus LX470 today (180k miles). Drove quite smoothly for 20 highway miles after filling the tank to full (87 from sams club). After parking at home, I noticed white smoke coming from rear driver side wheel. Liquid was also leaking on this side. The whole torsion bar...

Does anyone have a good number for the AHC suspension cylinder bore diameter for the UZJ100 with AHC models, and for bonus points, the HDJ100 (diesel) models with AHC? Anyone know if the diesel AHC system is the same or different? As in, are the target pressures any different than the petrol...

TL;DR - I believe my front left suspension damper is stuck at the stiffest setting, causing bad ride quality. This is my first post here, and I'm only posting because I think I've read every AHC thread there is. I have a 2000 LX470 with 145,000 miles, and I'm trying to troubleshoot terrible...

After a year long search having sold my LXs, I was able to secure my unicorn 100 series non-nav AHC 2006 Land Cruiser with 59k miles in black and gray with gray interior, all thanks to @GTS550 who originally posting the ad! I had it under contract within 2 hours of the listing. The truck came...

So I finally bought a 2005 LX470, really wanted a land cruiser but they are a lot more expensive. Anyway, I didn't want the AHC suspension but now that I have the LX I want a way to keep in in High if I want to. Researched and all I found was a Slee over ride switch which they no longer make. I...

I initially put this in the Definitive list of AHC maintenance items thread, but at almost 800 posts long and growing, it's going to get buried and the thread itself is very unwieldy. In an attempt to make as focused a summary as possible, I present "The ABCs of AHC." It's intended as a...

This may as well be titled "The LX that 'Mud Built" because without the Mud community support of YotaMD this would not exist. So I offer an upfront and sincere "Thank You!" to you awesome folks that support your community vendors like YotaMD. Now, let's dive into the fun stuff. 2006 LX470 in...

Hi there, I have a 2008 LC200 and I am planning to prepare it for overlanding trips. I am considering adding Front and Rear ARB Bars (70 and 90 Kgs respectively) + Roof Tent (approx 80 Kgs) + Auxiliary LRA Fuel Tank (another 100kgs when filled). My LC200 is equipped with AHC (2'' sensor lift...

I fired up the truck in 30F weather and the "Check 4-Wheel AHC System" warning displayed. The warning has not re-appeared after multiple subsequent starts. I'm hesitant to ask this question as there may be too many possibilities, but is there a "common" thing I should check? At this point...
