Well, the 2010 LX570 rides basically like new!
I changed out the 4 globes/accumulators and that fixed everything. The lean. The ridiculously bumpy ride. The extremely noticeable adjustments that used to go unnoticed it’s all much better. Well worth the time and $6k+ savings.
Accumulators cost $500 from Japan off of eBay and 2 2.5l of AHC fluid cost $100 off of Amazon.
Pretty easy job but the bleeding is a bit time consuming. I used 2 2.5l containers of AHC fluid. Bc I was flushing(Lexus dealership didn’t flush fluid when they changed two of my shocks recently. I didn’t request it) so I used every bit of fluid I had during bleeding. Turned car on after each accumulator bleed and let pump refill
I would’ve used another container of fluid, 3 total 2.5l, if I had it. Fluid is much clearer but not bright pink like new
13/16 socket worked great on accumulators
Also suggest for adding fluid to reservoir an at least 2’ skinny funnel. I wasted too much time trying to rig a transfer device with a brake bleeding pump that I wish I could get back
I took off the running board of one side. I wouldn’t do that again bc too time consuming but each time I went to that side I was thankful for all the room I had.
Anyway, thanks to everyone on this thread for all the help. I really needed it and made job a lot easier
