I absolutely made sure fronts went on front and rears on rear. Yesterday we got huge rain storms so I’ll mess around with it today. I’ll post pictures of the sensors, I’m not sure what they should look like or how they should be set, if there any info on this specificly?Is there a chance that you installed the front globes in the rear and the rear ones in the front? Did you get to take a look at the sensors?
Ok, here are pics of the height sensors, the fronts look even, how ever the rears… one is centered and one is all the way low. Should these be centered or in the low position? I’m hoping this difference is the issue???Is there a chance that you installed the front globes in the rear and the rear ones in the front? Did you get to take a look at the sensors?

I moved both rears to Match the one in the center position, no difference in the ride
Annoying update of the day, so I moved both the rear sensors to the lowest position and the truck rides MUCH BETTER, atleast on an initial ride around the neighborhood. Truck goes up and down in the speed it should if not faster, very smooth up and down. When it was in H before going to N it would drop down slightly uneven, not it lowered exactly the same and smooth. I’m hoping this is as the fix, I’m not sure who messed with these before of if this was the fix, also an alignment was done before buying the truck with the sensors different so I’m thinking of doing an alignment the way it sits now and seeing if that fine tunes it. Let’s hope this is the end of this thread… will report back after a long drive this afternoon that’s already planned. Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions on here, this kinda stuff is frustrating and any help/thoughts/ideas always are appreciated

Ok, I need to find this cause it still isn’t the way it should be, I thought I had luck around town but not so much on the drive this afternoon.When lowering the nut, the trucks lifts.
Adjust the sensors front and rear so the fender heights from the hub are in spec. There is a thread that will get you there.
Yea I think it’s past the ahc at this point. I’m wondering if an alignment could be the culprit also. Is there any spot that would have all the torque specs for suspension components?it might be worth re-stabilizing suspension. Park the truck on a level surface, then start loosening all suspension joints. Bounce each corner then torque. There’s only so many reasons your ride can be garbage, and sounds like you’ve given the old college try to the AHC.
Based on everyone I know with LX570s, no replacement is ever needed unless physically damaged. Why do people think they need changed?Weird…seeing a lot of globes needing to be replaced at under 150k miles…..yet Teckis300 claims that AHC can lasts 300k miles without needing anything….
The membrane in the accumulator will naturally seep N2 over the lifespan of the globe to the point where performance and capacity are diminished.Based on everyone I know with LX570s, no replacement is ever needed unless physically damaged. Why do people think they need changed?
Glad I have an LC then. Can’t imagine the guys at the local Subaru repair shop here in Homer dealing with all that.The membrane in the accumulator will naturally seep N2 over the lifespan of the globe to the point where performance and capacity are diminished.

Not just the globes…the lines are exposed to weathering and hard to get to to prevent rust/perforation…but the main issue is that AHC is (too) complex system that is a PIA to diagnose and fix. See this thread. I hope for the OP that this is NOT AHC related.Based on everyone I know with LX570s, no replacement is ever needed unless physically damaged. Why do people think they need changed?
Yet, no dealer does it. Very few owners do it. Dealers rather wait until AHC fails then they recommend replacing the whole system for $25-30k. I guess Lexus owners are rich…so they can afford it or dump it.I miss Homer dearly!
If they can bleed brakes - they can service AHC.
