LX470 tire pressure/hard steering
I checked the tire pressure and according to the manual made it 29psi front and 32 rear. It was around 34psi front/rear before.
But the steering feel has become considerably heavy now.
the lx has a brand new power steering pump which was replaced last month and I hand't checked the air pressure since.
I am curious if there's a bleeding process involved after changing the ps pump which the tech. forgot to do
can someone else chime in to let me know how their steering feels with the 29/32 psi pressures.
thnx.

my ES feels fine with 35 all around.
to bleet the system, simply unbscrew the cap (but dont remove it completely) and turn the steering wheel lock to lock. i suppose you coudl remove it completely if you wanted to.

yup at 35 or 36 i'm ok as well. but the manual says that the air should be 29 in front and 32 in the back.
with that pressure the steering wheel has become very hard to turn at low speeds. doesnt sound normal to me.
