Where to service AHC in Adelaide

[Matt1979]

I have a 2005 Sahara with AHC. The suspension seems to work well but is a little squeaky. It has only done 106k. Is there anyone in Adelaide that people recommend for looking at and servicing AHC?

I wouldn't let anyone touch a working AHC system (in working order) who wasn't an expert. If bushings are squeaking, you could try shooting them with silicone spray. Too many shops will want to just start tossing expensive AHC parts at your system and possibly screw it up.

Or less than 70k miles

The squeaking noises are unlikely to be AHC related, on a 19 year old truck might be some suspension bushes as a starting point.

Being a 2005, the first thing I would do is a flush of the AHC system, your local Toyota dealer should have the 2.5 litre cans for around $35.

I need help, i replaced the front left shock and everything was fine, car was raising up and down, then for some reason i decided to lift the entire truck up and crack open the bleeder by the front globe, now the car is on bumpstops and i can't get it to raise. I've bled all the corners and...

What they said, squeaking isn't from the AHC but from the bushings.
I havereplaced the bushings in the rear of my 2002 and have the bushings ready for the front.
Only done 316,000kms.
