kdss

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 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?

Hi all, just joined so here's my intro. Owned my 05 470 sport for about a year now and have already had a ton of fun with it and taken it on a half dozen solid off-road excursions. I'm a big fan of keeping things simple so I wanted to test the capabilities of the stock setup and really...

New to posting on the forum. I have searched and been unable to locate an answer. 2009 GX 470 138K KDSS dash light started coming on intermittently. Now the light is continuously on. This is a pavement princess - no mods. The KDSS operates fine, no lean and no clunking. I assume at...

I recently got rid of the KDSS sway bar system on my 200 series land cruiser, while it did improve small bump compliance over washboard roads and uneven terrain, I noticed that the tires would drop much faster when going over a pothole, ditch or even when the tires are free like driving out of a...

I looked at a 2009 tonight. It’s from NJ. The interior was in fantastic shape, the outside paint looked fine as well as I could tell in the dark. The undercarriage had been freshly undercoated. I was laying in a puddle, looking around with a flashlight the best I could at places that weren’t...
