Is the LX570 AHC a tried and true spring?
LC “purists” are like New Yorkers, going on and on about the virtues of “tried and true” spring setups, but in order to enjoy their springs, they seem to have a need to talk some smack about LA/LX with its “over-the-top” hydraulic suspension, “unnecessarily complex” design, and high “cost of repair.”
Is the hydraulic suspension on your Lexus LX 470 failing?
Perhaps you’re experiencing a bit of a “nose dive” when you come to a complete stop. While there are other possible reasons for these experiences, the most likely is that you are experiencing a failing hydraulic suspension on your LX 470.
What are junction spots on Toyota LX570 AHC?
Below is a schematic that shows fluid leak weak spots or “junction spots” — whatever you want to call it, but areas that Toyota mechanics identified on a schematic, so probably a good starting point for visual inspection purposes.
Do you need to bleed hydraulic fluid for LX570 AHC?
To do that, you’d need to bleed the hydraulic fluid and be VERY careful when disconnecting rusted/weathered/corroded/dirt-fused connectors. For me, the risk of potentially screwing up an apparently well-balanced setup was not worth it.
