Default RX Air Suspension

My first post. I have a 2004 RX 330 with air suspension. I'm having problems with my front air suspension. It looks like I'll have to replace my front air suspension at considerable cost. I 'd like to keep the SUV for another 2 years. I'm wondering if I replace the air suspension with a regular suspension system on the front and rear at half the cost will I reduce the trade-in value of my car.

Fortunately,, no one wants an old car with expensive air suspension. Personally, I think you would be doing yourself and the next owner a favor.

Like many questions, this one has been discussed previous in whole or part. You just need to use the search features of the forums here at CL to find what you need.

If you keep your old air bag struts, you can always have them reinstalled if you ever sell the vehicle. That's what I did with mine. I've got them in case I ever want to resell and someone actually wants them.

Thanks for the information. I will use it to make my decision. I'll let you know once I decide.
