Hi Mark, what vehicle were the OEM strut/spring suspension that u got from the junkyard off of? Another 04 RX330? I'm looking to do this swap myself and I'm finding 3 different Toyota part numbers (on car-part.com) for each side of the rear suspension.

Did you have to buy anything else, like strut mounts or special tools? Thanks

If it has a separate fuse, the light that blinks off for the air compresssor, I would just pull the fuse.

I've done the coil over conversion from air struts. I used a kit from strutmasters...easy install, lifetime warranty and good ride.

The warning light on the dashboard is easy to disable, although it doesn't have a separate fuse. Simply pull back the instrument bezel...its only held on by plastic clips. Take out the four screws holding the instrument cluster in place and turn it over to gain access to the two wire connectors on the back. Cut and tape the white wire on pin 9 on the small connector and the warning light is permanently disabled.

Cheers!

we are experiencing issues with the right side of the car being way lower then the rest of the car. We have disconnected the battery once to have it all level out again for about 2 weeks. Just did the same thing again so did the battery trick to only have it last this time about 24 hours. Now we are needing to know what should be replaced, or looked at as we are thinking it might be the compressor height control assembly going bad, but no idea where to locate it. It is a 2004 RX330 with about 190,000 miles on it and I am not sure the time, money is worth the age and mileage of the car. Any help is very much appreciated.

Is that the solution that strutmasters put in their installation manual? I was hoping that there is separate fuse for air compressor that we could disconnect and it will solve the issue. Cutting the cluster wire permanently removes the light from the dash.

The height sensor on the problematic side would possibly not working properly. I had to rebuild the mechanical joint was totally stuck and corroded and not moving the sensor link accordingly to the vehicle height. I finished cleaning the corrosion with WD-40, and re-working joint ball to take out the corrosion, and coating broken rubber seal with poliuretan glue. Make sure to put grease to the joint prior totally sealing it with the glue. Glue is stiffer than original rubber boot, but strong and flex enough to to do the work even at -30C. I checked all four sensor's joints and had to repeat the procedure on everyone as they have being close to failing as well. No problems on air sensors science the repair happened, and it's more than a year for now.
