I replaced the four accumulators (globes) on my 05 LX a couple of months ago with new OEM. A couple of weekends ago, I decided to "flush" the fluid one more time using PADDO's replacement method. Barely any fluid came out of the front driver side accumulator, which was done after bleeding the height actuator. The rest of the accumulators flowed fine. This past weekend, I decided to do another flush today to see if more fluid would come out of that front driver side. Same thing, barely any fluid. Maybe an ounce or two. Should I be concerned? Any ideas? Thanks.

From L you cracked the DS bleeder and very little fluid came out and the front of the vehicle didn't lower to the bump stops? If that's the case I'd be looking at an obstructed bleeder port/blocked bleeder I suppose. At L there should be around 3.5-4MPa in the front shock actuator hydraulic circuit holding the vehicle up (if front neutral pressure is in specified range at N) and it should expel around 400ml as it drops from L to bumps if the globes have, good functional charges.

Thank you. I'm going to replace the bleeder and see what happens.
PADDO.Just a question i did bleeding couple weeks ago all fluid was out from reservoir box it was the red colour hydraulic fluid.The new fluid was gold color from toyota.I then proceed to do bleeding fluid all camed out from the 4 globes and height control.As you say it is impossible to get all fluid out so some red mixed with gold.All globes flowed normal ascept DS rear were it come out with bubbles.After few seconds tho it would settle the fluid and look normal not stay bubblely.Bleed it couple times it would come out like that.The ride is very good now tho more smooth.Thanks.
