Lx450 AHC repair - recommend shop?

[Redcrayon]

Friend of mine has an un-modified lx450. I think a 2000-2002 ish model.

I think his globes are bad. The thing bounces near dangerously at hwy speeds on any bumps.

We flushed and changed the AHC fluid - old stuff was foamy and VERY low. Filled with new and he only gets 4-5 graduations from L to H.

From what I understand, this is good indication that globes are bad...?
Does anyone know of a repair shop that would correctly undertake this?
He isn't a fan of herrin gear - but will go that route if necessary.

Thank you guys. (This is my friend with the sweet car collection - so he is as anal about his vehicles as we are...)

LX470......


I would cap that bitch off. Leave all that BS on the truck and slap a mild OME lift on the truck.

 

[Redcrayon]

I suggested that. But, he's hinted around that he wants to repair it to get rid of it.
He isn't a fan of modifications.
The truck is gorgeous - if he did OME medium lift - it would become a sweet ride. Lol

470 - you are correct. My fault. I can't afford to even talk Lexus.

Bible. Not touching that AHC, sorry.
I can get a great deal on OME lifts. Let me know....

You put the ome on and such?

Approx price? I'll pass the word.

Yeah, was just pulling your chain. I think I have it all figured out (the disconnect). Will definitely get you to put on a traditional lift soon.

Need a week to get it here. Don't keep them on hand.

Any data out there about leaving all of it on the truck and just capping off the system? Seems like it would be the best route.

Yes, and that's what I'm going to do. Weight is neglible, and fuse can be easily removed to disable the system.

Removing the fuse will prevent any cel or warning lights?

I think you will get a suspension warning light.

Actually all lights and codes can be cleared/removed. There are a couple writeups on it, and it's being done successfully a lot now.
