Active Height Control.....L/C or LX470 question.

[flintknapper]

When reading about this system....I keep seeing folks referring to it as 'air suspension'!

Am I missing something? I thought it was hydraulic, save for the nitrogen in the globes?

Trying to learn about it prior to a possible purchase of an LX470.

I know to test for fluid capacity (graduations on the reservoir) between low and high positions, check fluid condition, road test. Expect to replace coil springs in back and adjust T/B's up front. Get the computer program, read pressures and balance them. Ride height sensors, etc...

What else to consider or look for?

Thank You in advance,

Flint.

You've got it covered. And yes, it's hydraulic.

Look at the actual shocks after cycling it from low to high. You don't want to see any moisture/leakage on the shocks.
