Front Shock Part Numbers (1 Viewer)

[Ignignot]

Oof rear was super bouncy and height adjust wasnt working on my drive today. Should i expect dash lights if these is an issue with this system? Expecting oem shocks to help but not to fix the fact i cant raise or lower the suspension with the button atm

there are no sensors in the shocks so no light will come on if the shocks are blown.

is the air compressor still working?

Yeah i heard it buzzing at a red light and the suspension is still up off the bump stops

Just had a crazy bouncy ride the car was almost uncontrollable. I think these luftmeisters are already completely shot. OEM replacements are in the mail.

Correction my air bags are definitely flat. Gonna do some tests tomorrow to see if the compressor still works or not

You have 2 Worries here. AirBags are Old and compressor is Old. That’s why I went Bilstein Shocks (Rock Auto) 4 Runner Coil Springs ($90) and Airlift Bags ($100). Then pull the Fuse for Air system and good for another 100K miles.

Fiddled around with reset procedures and fuse pulling and cant get the compressor to make noise, ordering a new one.

Joint Ends are made by THK and Motion Industries Carries them. If I recall about $15 each

Careful One is Left Hand Thread other is Right Hand Thread - I was not Careful

Then you Need the Adjuster but you can likely Reuse your Existing.

I redid the ones on my RX and another Lexus Model (IS) was Nearly Identical so bought used one on Ebay and Pieced it together.

Which Compressor you Get?

Chinese should last about 2 Years and is $130. It is in a Tough Environment with Spray from Rear Wheels.

OEM was north of $1000 when I checked.

Mine was in Real Bad Shape, but I'm in Midwest (Ohio)

I got the Arnott P3785 on Rockauto. It was easy to replace except i snapped a bolt head off, but some swearing and vice gripping and now its got fresh hardware even if I have to do it again in 2 years and then again in 4 i'm still ahead. It did come with the mounting bushings, i read some aftermarkets dont. The bolts that hold it in are aluminum though so be careful of snapping them.

You also dont even need a special tool to remove the air lines from the compressor like you do for the air springs
