When you did it did you put the car on a lift or did you do it from a jack one wheel at a time? If you did it one wheel at a time, when you disconnected the air did it become unstable?
I just jacked up the car oone wheel at a time, and pulled the air shocker out. Did not use a lift. The car was stable with proper jack and wheel lying flat just incase it collapsed.
If your getting air suspension get the arnotts struts as they are the best. There the best. The Chinese air struts don't last there really bad. I ended up getting gas struts by unity and they have been quite good and very similar to the air suspension.
Thanks for the video brother. My LS460s air struts as still going strong at 160,000kms but I’ll consider unity coil-overs when they will inevitably fail.
What happens is it doesn’t go down at all I just purchased a arnot but it doesn’t go up or down was I supposed to unplug something before installation? Or is it defective?
Not at all what you remove you put back as it is. Arnots have good support might have to give them a call. The suspension is only active when the car is running.
Tensioner wheel plastic was replaced this is easy to replace. Friends with Mercedes have to pull off entire parts to get to it. Lexus is user friendly!
@@BasedSwaghoe I’m having the same issue as your it squeaks on cold start & once it warm up or if you drive it the squeaking stops. What did you do to resolve the issue?
This is the ultra lux package? If you had the regular LS, it would have come out and not fold down? There are all those vents and wires on the seats, which indicate that this isn't a base LS?
Yeah I got a genuine LHS rear but please change this in pairs I did a mistake buy buying just 1 and than few months later the RHS got really soft were the car was bouncing ended up buying a Chinese RHS which seems to be ok. I am in Melbourne Australia
@@tony34star I've been mulling over what to do, replace the expensive air suspension components, allowing me another 100K of motoring, or moving to gas shockers.
@@nickgruzevskis8629 if you replace better replacing all 4 and honestly don't think the Chinese air shockers are great, maybe have a look at the godspeed gas shockers that's what I might be purchasing.
I got my air strut from New Zealand few years ago now it was $1000 delivered OEM Lexus of Wellington tried to get another price it was up to $2000 so ended up getting a Chinese shocker doesn't seem quite right.
We don't have a executive package in Australia it's the standard short wheel base. To get the back seats out. 1 remove the bottom base of the seat by pulling up from the bottom but there's 2 clips that you need to loosen up and than it just comes out...once you dome it once it's pretty simple. Than 2 screws for the back part of the seat the screws you will see after the bottom is out. The back seat once the screws are loose they need to be lifted up and it comes off 2 hooks and that's it both bottom and back have electrical wire looms which need disconnecting.
Is that the Executive package? How did you get the back seat out? I may need to replace my rear strut in the near future...that looks like a major task.
