Default Rear drivers side air bag

I have my 2004 gx470 in for service today. I have noticed that the air compressor seems to run longer and more frequent . I bought the trunk July of 2013. I have lexus plat extended warranty. Prior to this service in august of 2013 I was experiencing similar issues and when the truck was in then they replaced the rear air height control reservoir assembly . Now they are changing the rear drivers side airbag . My question is should air bags be replaced as a pair. Will I notice any ride difference since they are only replacing the one that is leaking . I would figure common sense would apply and that the air bag works or is does not. Would appreciate any advice

I don't think it'll make a difference. As long as the other airbag is able to hold air you're ok. Make sure you have them check the rear ride height and adjust the L & R ride height sensor if needed.

Thanks that is what I thought. I figure they wont change the other one because its not leaking yet

Just did mine, also a 2004, even though only one was leaking, the other had cracks in the rubber, I opted for doing both on a 10 year old truck. Not a matter of if it leaks...just when.

Hi Allen

I am curious how much was it to do both air bags. As I said I am under warranty just trying to get an idea as to how much the job cost. I am sure at this point for me that what ever the warranty cost I have gotten all my money back and still have two years to go.

I will have the airbags off my 07 GX470 up for grabs soon. I am converting to full Icon here in a couple of weeks. I may also have the KDSS system up for sale too. I am not 100% on KDSS but will post back here if they go up for sale
