Located in Ga. Excellent inside roads but 285 and 85 are a mess with potholes due to 18wheelers. Porsche chose Atl due to its curvy roads and pretty good road network. we don’t get snow.. just ice once in a while.
Great video, thanks! I don't have that confidence to do the big change! I turned off the exit lowering because I don't feel like I need it but I'm worried that the hydraulic pump will be wearing out... Mine isn't wavy, but it does seem to shift levels (unevenly front/back) sometimes at stop lights are after I turn it off. I did just have someone put on rocksliders and they were complaining about some of the bolts - hopefully it doesn't add too much pain when it comes time to have this done. I'm hoping I can buy some time just doing fluid changes. I do love driving it, despite being able to see the fuel gauge go down in real-time lol.
Hey just came across your videos hey man i loved the videos please keep making them i am on a search for an lx570 my self. This is very informative thanks
The fuel tank is on the right hand side. So probably gets a lean as the tank gets low. In Australia the 200 series gets a lean from the KDSS system but the LX doesn't have that.
I recently replaced my accumulators by watching @NKPgarage video. 3 of the 4 were completely shot. I didn’t do the pencil test but by just looking inside them, only one had the diaphragm to the top. The other 3, couldn’t even see the diaphragm so the pencil would definitely have gone all the way in. Good video and good maintenance item to do for sure. “Black pearl” for the name 👍
I enjoyed your rambling loose as a goose review. I don’t think you quite know what you own. That’s a 200 series land cruiser and it’s luxury form of Lexus. Yes it’s a 500,000 mile engine. It’s also the last VA and will be the most sought after Car in the next 20 years. Enjoy
So the pencil test is only can tell if the globe looses it pressure completely or not. But the internal nitrogen pressure needs to be high enough to provide good damping, you need to have special tool to test the internal pressure. ps we pay 105 per car here in IN, but they salt the road, so we get rusty car, I would rather pay 400 plus to get a rust free lc any day of the week lol
It may have been my video from Australia that you watched??? Silver LX570? I haven't changed the accumulators on mine yet, as it still rides OK (260,000km or 160,000 miles) but for my future reference, is this assumption correct of how you did it? 1). Bleed it down till the fluid pressure is gone then close off the bleeder. 2). Remove the old accumulator and replace it. 3). Start the car and let it lift up, keeping the reservoir level topped up to the correct level. 4). Move on to the next corner.
@@Machinesinmotion01 one of my lines is leaking the left rear one lol. I disabled the ahc and left it on high and it’s been parked for a week now. Just trying to find time to replace the line and the globes. I’m wondering if I have to bleed all of the fluid before I change the leaking line?
I’ve driven this through a war zone escaping with family for life. Off roads and mountains steep and slippery

Black on black... for a name, I gotta go with Darth Cruiser. As a fellow Californian, keep up these excellent videos on the 200 series!!!!
Your videos are so informative!
Thanks! Appreciate the support.
I would call it "THE BLACK BEHEMOTH" we have a 2015 LX570 and I'm getting ready to service the AHC system, thanks for the tips 🤙

The black beast is one that’s always stuck with me when talking about the 200 series. I’ll take those accumulators for my aged 200 🤣

How many miles?
Replaced at 167k miles. Currently at 175k and rides like new 👍
Nice work! Some of those bolts are definitely tough to get to.
Thanks!
Its MEEE who noticed that its tilted to one side :) You can notice the tilt by usually looking from the rear and gauging the mud flaps
Totally see it. Thanks for the comments.
You really didn’t even show us the filling process

Thanks! What do you mean by the last VA? I'm intrigued..
V8 I guess
Eilean, even though she don’t anymore
How much does this service run at Lexus Dealership?
Thanks for the video!
How many’s miles on the LX?
Going to have to do this on my 09 lx soon….I have a tilt and my vehicle dips suddenly sometimes at idle. How much did the the accumulators run you?
They were about $450 for all of them.
dose any auto shops can do these? it is not as easy as filling the windshield fluid!

Very wise.
How did u know what accumulators were for front and reari ordered some off ebay and their numbered with the oem numbers.
I believe, when I ordered them off Amazon...they were listed as front and rear. However, they are actually the same. Can anyone else confirm this?
So $500 in parts? How much time did it take? Can't remember if you said.
Mine just started doing the wave.
Yes $500 for accumulators and fluid.
It'll take just a couple hours.

Yes, that's how I did it.
@@Machinesinmotion01 Cheers, thanks mate.

Did you leave it on high when you bled it?
Yes, I did. It came down fast...so be careful.

Yeah, that's what I'm dealing with. My LX570 is not balanced. The right side is higher a little bit than the Driver side
Changing the accumulators fixed my issue.
Can you please send the part number for the bolts or the link please
@@Abbass-vh3is which bolts?
The four boxes that you Chang the black bolts
