LX470 Suspension question
We have two Lexus LX470s. A 1998 and 2007 because we had such a great experience with the "98. We have never had any suspension parts replaced on the"98 and it now has just over 300K miles. Recently it does seem to be riding lower and the ride seems to be less active suspension. The lift system does raise and lower the vehicle but it does seem to be at a consistently lower level when in the N mode and maintains that without seemingly constant pump running. This seems paradoxical because if truly riding lower it wouldn't seem possible to maintain an N (normal) ride height on the display. What does the group suggest, accumulators, shocks, level switches, springs?

First thing try replaying your hydraulic fluid from suspension AHC system may be old then go from there could be contamination and air in system.Do a simple test put the vehicle in low note the number of graduations on AHC tank and then put it on high..If it difference between graduations is less then 7 accumulators can be gone.
