Sorry for the Hella BUMP but damn! this thread HOOKED me up! my arm did not need the full 90 degree bend but thanks to smalldog for the pictures, i got what i needed. oh, and just to let you know, this worked like a charm on my 10 IS250C. Only one leveling arm in the left rear

 

Just wanted to ask, does adjusting the AFS like this have any negative effect? I guess what I'm asking is if your doing the turn-the-screws-in-the-engine method or the AFS-10mm-adjustment-nut method, do either of these affects the AFS differently? Don't want to burn my AFS out lol

 

it won't burn out afs, but if you don't do it correctly, your headlight aim will be out of spec of course

 

Just got my GS lowered and the AFS light is flashing it's butt off. Good thing I read this thread so I'll be crawling under the car tomorrow. If all fails, I'll take it to the dealer.

 

Thanks to this thread, the blinking AFS light is gone, but I think I messed up something in the front leveling arm. As I was working on the adjustments, I loosened 2 10mm nuts on the leveling arm, when I tried to tightened it the 2 nuts won't tightened. Could it possibly a loose thread since the bolt turns when I turn the nut?

I'm using the same image from the previous post just to give you guys an idea.



It's the top 2 nuts where the sensor with the plug and the top elbow that I can't tightened.

 

Im glad I ran into this thread. I am lowering my car soon, so if a light pops up ill refer to this.

 

this will make my life much easier.

 

Thank you for this thread. Just lowered my IS-F the other day and this was simple and did the trick.

 

What about the people who run air??

 

Back up, thank GOD and small dog of course for a fix to our addiction.

 

hey guys if someone can help me out a bit, my AFS lights is constantly on, reading this forum i took my rear driver side wheel off and found out that me bracket was is bent as shown in picture. my question now is which nut/bolt should i unscrew to fix the bent bracket into a L shape. If someone can refer to the from 1 to 4. 1 is the top bolt by the sensor and bolt 4 being at most bottom.

 

Im on Air, and I run into this from time to time when I work under the car. Just follow the pics and your good

Loosen bolt 4 and point bracket vertical. Looks like it was moved to an angle from your pictures.

 

okay so My AFS light was on, ( not flashing like i been reading most guys have) I checked my rear driver side lever and yes it was bent, i straighten it out and made it into a L shape and still i have the light on AFS, any ideas why the AFS lights still on?? headlights work and seem like they do more up when car is started, gos up a little

 

which bolt do i remove when taking the strut out of the car on the afs sensor?

 

Wow i thought the fsport springs were so suttle that this wouldnt be an issue but I guess it is...ill have to add this to favorites
