This forum has been extremely helpful, I learned everything I know about Landcruiser from here. so thank you to everybody who contributes to this forum!!!
I have a unique situation, I currently have two 2001 LX470, yes two identical ones, one with 174,xxx miles and one with 170,xxx miles. The one with slightly fewer miles feels considerably "loose" or less tight than the other one. Especially when braking at low speed it rocks slightly back and forth after the car stops while the other one feels just solid.
I have the luxury of swapping globes and rear springs but that made no difference in either car. I changed the brakes and cv axle on the "loose" one but that didn't affect anything either. The globes check returned 14 points on the reservoir, no AHC code in techstream. AHC pressure test is front 6.9 and 7.3 on the back which I know is a bit high and I need to address that but it's the same in both cars so I don't think it's the reason for the rocking/bouncing.
it's probably worth mentioning that the driver side was lower than the passenger side. I adjusted the torsion bars and got the two sides level. however, the driver side torsion bar bolt is screwed in all the way while the other one has about an inch to go still.
I'm lost at this point as I don't know what else to check/swap.. what else could it be?
