Air bag surprise

[Bigtoe]

I purchased some clean OEM air springs on eBay for a deal. When I started the install, I found that the ones on my GX470 were replaced with an aftermarket brand. The air hose connection was different from OEM. The OEM connections are missing the internal clips. I am asking the group, where can I source the parts I need to cobble this thing together? Photos included. My goal is to get these OEM bags installed. Thank you for any advice. I am not going to swap with springs. No brodozer.

You can try Bell Lexus. They have exploded view diagrams to see what's missing. https://parts.belllexusnorthscottsdale.com/Lexus__GX-470.html

Bell Lexus had it, so ordered from there. Thank you for giving me hope, and the information I need. So lucky. Now I’m going to have to find the o rings.

Take your Bag right to the Local Fastenal.
They sell the Hose and Fittings you show in the Picture.
That Hose and Fitting is Industrial Push to Lock and high Quality.
They may have to order the Fittings to fit the Bag.

**Sorry to say this but I threw all that stuff in the Trash when I went to Air Springs. I wish I used the Push to Lock Fittings thou. You can Remove them in mere Seconds. I just didn't want to spend the extra time.

I do still have the Stainless Clips that hold the Bags in. They are Free for whoever wants them. I just have to find where I set them.

I did get a cheap set from amazon and I have to say the ride was so much better. The air shocks were shot. I ordered the internal clips from Lexus. Very good price. I’ll match the o rings and I’ll be in business. When I’m bored and have time I’ll swap in the OEM ones. Thanks for your help. I’m really enjoying this fine SUV. I’ll post another thread for another issue I would like to resolve.
