Factory air suspension lifespan
My '94 has 123,000 miles on it with the factory air suspension. Just wondering what the average lifespan of these were. Thanks

Gauging by past discussions, 80-120K seems average but this depends on road conditions much like the typical coil suspensions and strut wear. There are those that will die sooner and last longer. I've also read similar among 430's but the 460's are still newish to get enough long term driver reports.
At your mileage...

All Dutch LS400's have Air Suspension, so I have some experience in them breaking down. Off course miles play a role, But the rubber/canvas also ages. You can expect them to tear after 12 years.
Most LS400's will have to get a strut replaced somewhere near the 200K in my climate, which isn't that dry (The netherlands, close to sea)
My first LS received one strut before my ownership, second rear went at 225K
My second (I have two of them) LS received both fronts around 180-190K. One of the rears blew at 202K
....now I roll on Megans......
