kdss

This tutorial gives a step by step for installing a 1/2" Cornfed (or other brand) front spacer (aka leveling kit) on a KDSS equipped 5th Gen 4Runner. A 1/2" front spacer will yield a 1" lift due to the geometry of the front suspension. Rationale: I consider this 1/2" spacer, 32-33” A/T tires...

I have a set of front and rear KDSS Spacers I don't need. I believe I am missing 2 bolts to be able to install but should be easy enough to get from the local hardware store. $150 + shipping.

I thought I'd throw this out there and see if I could bundle all these questions into one thread. I have a 2014 LC that has a bit of "cruiser lean" on the stock suspension. About 1.5" lower on the drivers side front and back with a full tank of gas. My plan was to see if opening the KDSS...

2007 Lexus GX470 Rare and desirable Sport package with KDSS (kinetic dynamic suspension system). Drives great. Wouldn’t hesitate to drive it cross country today. Strong and powerful SUV. Only ~165k miles. Ready for anything. If you’re familiar with the gx470 and the sports package/kdss you know...

Did some searching and couldn't find an exact match to my question. Lots of threads on how to change out rear Springs (making sure to crack KDSS valves). And lots of threads about stuck/corroded KDSS valves. One of my KDSS Allen heads on the wife's 200 is completely stripped and rusted on. I...

I thought you needed kdss spacers to lift more than 2 inches? Maybe a link to those or anything else that may need a tweak as far as proper procedure.

Hey guys, I thought I would post this here as well. I am selling my GX470 on BAT. If this kind of post is not allowed, please let me know and I will take it down! I couldn't seem a find a sticky on the rules but maybe I missed it. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2006-lexus-gx470-5/...

Brand new. Never installed. $120 shipped.

Replacing struts. Can’t get the KDSS link arm bushing hole to align. Do I need to put it on the ground to do this? Should I loosen the KDSS bar mounting bolts?

New owner, first time posting here. What is the closest the spare can be to the KDSS bar without risking contact? I'd like to be able to move my spare closer to the bar, which then may allow me to put my Curt hitch back on. I might have 1/2" to spare currently. Thanks.

Well... a few weeks ago the KDSS light came on my dash. It appears after about 5 minutes of driving, regardless of whether I'm taking sharp turns or just driving in a straight line. It goes away when I shut the car off and turn it back on, but then returns 5 minutes later. The driving dynamics...

Hello, I’m brand new to this forum and forums in general. I have a 2012 GX 460 and I’ve had a clunk for a while now. Developed pretty fast after I first got it in early 2021. It definitely is coming from the driver side front KDSS ram. I can have someone rock the car while I’m under there. I am...

Hi everyone - I will caveat that I am no car expert just really love this vehicle. It’s a 2013 USA Lc200. I’ve had this sound for a few years- have left it at multiple Pittsburgh Toyota dealers for weeks where stated they were never able to replicate this sound yet seconds after driving off its...

We're all aware that the KDSS bolts and housing are prone to corroding (located on left-hand side, below 2nd-row door, attached on inner frame rail). The bolt style pre-2018 model year was an Allen-head bolt, which have been observed to strip easily or break the narrow Allen bit when corroded...

Just picked up an 06 GX 470. Has air springs and KDSS. Neither appear to be working properly. Goal for the truck is 35" tires/gears/lockers/cut fenders/tubbed firewalls - trail use (not really overland - mostly just local trails). So I know the air suspension is out - will all be replaced with...

I went over the general sticky of nation-wide mechanic list, no luck, but hopefully someone could make a recommendation here. I'm based in Westchester county, NY (white plains, rye, port chester), but open to travel to nearby states, preferrably local of course. So, anyone who can recommend a...

Looking for a worn out KDSS system that someone has either deleted or replaced. Willing to ship to Canada and pay a fair price. Please contact me via DM!

I recently added a 2-inch lift (Ironman) to my 2016 cruiser. It now appears that the kdss is no longer working as can be seen in the photo. I had had some problems with the kdss and had it refilled a short while ago. What can I do to correct the problem?
