jocigar Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Posted a few weeks ago about taking our truck to toyota for the 60k tune-up. We ended up going with them and saved about $600. The problem, the suspension is now always hard and even if I adjust the control to smooth it does not respond. It seems to be locked in firm/sport mode. Any suggestion? After all the talk of wrong fluids, I worry that maybe we should have stayed with Lexus service. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasoil Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 What is 'firm' mean does it have suspension travel--or are the accumulators flat and you have no suspension travel? If they put brake fluid in the suspension reservoir--all the 'rubber' parts are toast. Mega $$$$. Same with antifreeze. ATF not great--but no permanent damage. Either you have flat accumulators or the solenoid control valves are stuck in 'firm' position. Will the vehicle raise/lower if you change the height switch? If it doesn , that lowers probability of the problem being the solenoid valves Sounds like a very good diagnosis is needed. If you do not have any appreciable suspension travel when bouncing on the corners--most likely flat accumulators. OEM are $500+ each. I can rechange them for $175 each.
