Jim_Chow Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Has anyone experienced system contamination? My accumulators are shot. Will new accumulators and a system flush rectify the situation? Has anyone had any success doing the reccommended fix? Another option is to replace the suspension with an OEM landcruiser non-AHC suspension. You will need to cap off the hydraulic lines to the AHC shocks. You will need the following parts for the same year landcruiser as your LX: 1) Rear coil springs (L and R are different) 2) Rear stabilizer bar 3) rubber bushings for the stabilizer bar (I think there are 2) 4) rear bumpstops (2) 5) Nuts for the stabilizer bar bolts (one-time use) 6) Front torsion bars, L and R 7) Front and rear shock absorbers (can go either OEM, Bilstein, or Old Man Emu; Bilstein reportedly has the best longevity and firmest rebound) If you buy on discount from, say, Grapevine Toyota, you should be able to get everything except the shocks for about $1100. Add about $130 for 4 OEM shocks or $280 for Bilsteins. Installation if DIY is free! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXPearl Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Head over to ih8mud.com and read all the posts on fixing the AHC or converting to LC suspension as Jim mentioned. New accumulators and a full flush with new fluid could fix your problem, but that is expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
