    Dialed-in AHC

    For the first time since owning my '07 LX I have the AHC dialed-in. Holy cow is the ride smooth and comfortable! Potholes and rough roads are gobbled up. If your AHC is original and your globes are shot, it's worth replacing them. New globes, fresh fluid, and t-bars adjusted so the pressures in...

    The anatomy of an AHC accumulator

    For those who may find this of interest, last week I decided to dissect an old globe. The findings were as expected with a rubber separator between the nitrogen and the AHC fluid. I was surprised at the housing thickness, 1/2” at the base. In my case there was no visible wear on the rubber...

    Jumping Mode for AHC?

    So I just saw a video about MB creating a jumping mode with their hydraulic suspension to free a vehicle from mud or sand. It just kind of hops itself out while the driver feathers the gas pedal. Has anyone tried hot rodding our suspension to mimic that effect?

    Taking care of AHC

    Will my AHC system last longer if i do not use it often? For instance, i can decide to switch it off so that i only switch back on only if it is really necessary. Is this even a good idea?

    AHC Fluid Change Question

    I got a 1998 LX470 that I picked up as non running and it has been in the Low setting since I got it. I am planning on flushing the AHC system but before I do that, I wanna get opinions on what to do first. Currently, there seems to be barely, if any, AHC fluid in the reservoir. I came across...

    Wake/Squirting Sound AHC Reservoir going into High

    There's a wake (like a squirt from a water jet) in the reservoir when going into high at the very end before the pump stops. AHC fluid is one graduation above min line in Normal. I assume this could cause air to enter in but wanted to check if it's normal before buying another can of fluid. I...

    leak in AHC line while in backcountry

    Good evening I am currently camping in Colorado and noticed the ahc line above the rear axle leaking from corrosion. It’s the 48998-60010 p/n. The line has a foil wrap to protect from heat of exhaust below it. The rust was at the edge of the foil. Yesterday I towed a small camper here, now...
