Just curious, everybody is talking about failing air suspension. Most of you don't want it because of the costs if it fails.
Did your air suspension fail?
My car has 125.000 miles on it and the original air suspension is working fine (including the ASC680)

Currently at 91K (2010 L AWD) on the stock air struts and just installed an ASC680.

Definitely curious to see the outcome of this poll

I'm at about 45 000 miles and mine is fine except for the fact that it changes the ride height all the time

What is the ASC680? Is that the air compressor? It never occurred to me that air struts would be good but problems would arise with the compressor component. Makes sense now though. How much is it to replace an ASC680? Also, what are the symptoms to look for? Thank you.

Air suspension controller to manually adjust the height of the vehicle....

Front space at work was open after lunch today so I put her in LOW mode :P



I won't do this often, but hadn't done it yet and wanted to see just how low it goes. Not going to give SUPER LOW a try.

Here she is lowered just a touch for daily duties, 27.5" (ground to fender through the center) all the way around

Oh, I see now, it's a separate aftermarket device. I thought it was an OEM part to worry about.

I almost never saw 460s in our area but after purchasing ours I now noticed 3-4 07-12 models around the neighborhood. I pass by a 10-12 every morning as it's parked outside on someone's driveway. It's a silver L and a real looker.

Mine has Air and it's working just fine. 2007 460L and, It's the best looking Mercury Metallic Lexus, this side of California. I would post a picture but, I have so much respect for all of the people here, I don't wanna **** off the Masses !!!

The rear air ride shocks were changed at ~ 47K miles and the front air ride shocks were changed at ~58K miles on my 2008 LS600hL. No problems since then, and I now have 83K miles on the car...

My 2010 L has just turned 64k and just replaced the two rear air shocks last week. Lexus tech said front are still good.

Have been complaining about the thumping of the control arms in front for a bit (car had around 60000 miles at the time). I think the service manager at my dealer was fed up of hearing me complaint every time and decided to change everything except for the height sensors. Don't know for sure if the suspension was ok or not, but who's gonna ask?...

After that, height issues in the front... so here I go *****ing again... they replace all but the faulty one (which was the leg that was up all the time). Finally changed the culprit last spring...

I have 52,000 on my LS, no problems of any kind.

Did you take it in for suspension issues or was it a case of the tech telling you "they're on the way out and should be replaced" and you decided to do it?

I have 105K on mine, all is well, and I use the "Height High" button at least twice a day.

The extra 3/4" makes a world of difference getting in/out. I have broken too many bones in my life.
