Failures seem few and far between, which I'll admit is odd (but good). Not sure a delete is possible in the 200s as of yet, lots of talk about it though.

The reason all four are recommended is because there isn't a test to know which one it is. Toyota says to replace them all at the same time.
There are actually 10 accumulators an the lx570. The four low pressure are what typically get replaced.
as for failure, no auto part lasts forever. I think 11 years is pretty good for a suspension part.
it isn’t expensive $750.
and the capability gained from ahc for those that daily drive their 200 is immense. 1” drop to clear in parking garages, 3” lift for obstacles, and highway speed attitude trimming. don’t even need to get into the ride mode bennies.

Where are the Rest of them? I see 4 globes, 1 large heigh control cylinder, and that’s it. The rest of the system is a pump and shocks. Is all the calving/solenoids in those main components?
Fsm shows two small accumulators on front corners and one small at back corners. They are high pressure, and yes, the valve opens the path to low or high, not sure about both. I’m not sure if I got the pdf onto my build thread when I was looking at it last fall.
Wow....where is the rest of that stuff physically located?
Just picked up a set of 4 new accumulators from ebay for my 2013 LX. GENUINE LEXUS LX570 LANDCRUISER 200 FRONT REAR SUSPENSION ACCUMULATORS SET 4 S | eBay
Was planning on doing the bleed and after watching the video from baktasht I figured changing out the accumulators would be some good PM (have 111K)
Was just on the phone with Berlin City Lexus of Portland ME asking why I didn't see the 60K AHC service on the history. They said they would look into it. Has anyone come across a situation where the dealer didn't flush AHC during the 60K service?

Just got this back from Lexus of Portland, ME
"Good Afternoon,
I just wanted to touch base after our phone call earlier. I spoke with our master technician and he clarified for me that we do not recommend to change it unless you are already having problems with the vehicle where it is a sealed unit.
If you have any further questions please feel free to reach out to me!"
That sounds like bull**** to me. It is not sealed and it is plainly in the manual as a service item at 60k intervals. They probably just don't want to do it.
Yep, Just started a new thread about the response to see if it's common: Heard back from the Dealer re: AHC 60K Service
bloc
SILVER Star
And primarily because they don’t do it often and don’t want to risk causing damage to such an expensive system. Never mind there is a factory service procedure right in their documentation
Bleeding it could not be easier.....

The delete is possible, loving my deleted AHC.
Relief gas chamber. #2 gas chamber on front
I have to go look at my thread for the others the descriptions on the fsm and like no 1 accumulator no 2 accumulator etc

Well after replacement, the ride still sucks.
Thoughts? Don't know where to go next, but growing tired of the ride, every road bump reverbs through.
New tires, PSI good. Accumulators replaced, bled several times after

What tires and what psi? I had this when I had my psi too high by 7 lbs
