Default 2002 lx470 height control

i have purchased a 2002 lx470, and cant really understand the height control. when i go for a drive, most of the time the front of the truck is high and rear is low. when i park and i try to lower the truck manually using the down the button, it does not work. is there i can do something bout it, or is there something wrong? please shed some light on this matter.

umm, didnt you get the AHC checked out before laying down cash ?

Its not normal for your LX to be sagging in the rear end.

Are you sure all your doors are closed when lowering or raising your LX ?

Did you check the AHC fluid levels ?

Do you know who last serviced the LX ?
If the AHC fluid is contaminated with something like Brake fluid then you need
to have the whole system flushed out.

sounds like it might be the issue, lets pray for your sake...

You must use specific AHC fluid from Lexus. If anyone else knows of a place that sells Lexus Spec AHC fluid than I hope they will reply.
