2006 LC with factory AHC in still place and 63k miles on the OD. All factory & oem. When i come to a stop at an intersection, the front of the truck bounces ever so slightly. It feels more like rocking front and back than up and down. I also noticed recently the front end rides harsh compared to the rear. All AHC pressures are/were in spec about 8 months ago and the truck has no leaks and moves up and down with the AHC no problem. Trying to figure out where to start. I have read as many threads as possible but kind of at a loss with the rocking back and forth when i come to a stop.

Thanks in advance!
 
Flush the AHC. You'll thank me later.
 
How many graduations to see change on the AHC reservoir between the low setting and high setting? 14 is new. 7-8 or less and you need new globes.
 
Perform the globe check:

I did that about 2 years ago at 59k miles and adjusted the pressure according to spec.

I did a full service 2 years ago and it was 12-13 graduations if i recall. I wrote it down somewhere.

Quick update: i did the pressure test for the globes. I have 8-9 graduations marked. I noticed that the fluid is coming back into the reservoir pretty foamy. I checked the pressure with techstream. Front was somewhat high. 7.4. I cranked the torsion bars back down and now sitting at 6.7. Back is 7.1 but unweighted.

The front ride is a little better, but not the cushy ride like the back... whats my next move???
 
Since you have reported foamy fluid coming back in, I would bleed the system a couple of times to see if that fixes it. If it continues, time to inspect each globe and perform the pencil test.
