Default rough ride/steering

Bought 2008 Lexus LX 570 2 yrs ago with 67000 miles, now has 103,000. It has always seemed to ride rough and more difficult to steer than should be. We had 1998 LX 470, replaced sensors on suspension and it actually rode and steered better than 570.

I owned several LX 470 units and they were more easy to steer. The suspension also was much softer than any of the LX units. Make sure the selector is in "Comfort" and the steering will be the easiest in the LX but still not as easy as the LX470 units.

ggebhardt is definitely spot-on.

I'd ask when was the last time the AHC fluid was flushed and bled? If it looks like weak coffee or darker, it's past the time for a change.

I'd also suggest having the AHC pressure read on all 4 corners and adjusted if necessary.
