  1. does anyone know what 2 front shocks would cost to replace ...? parts and labour wise on a 2006 LX470? i had the rears replaced by the dealer due to one leaking a lot of oil before I purchased it. ride is pretty ordinary so the dealer replaced accumulators and still no dice .. the ride is still overly firm and the cabin rattles more than it should. any advice on whether the front shock change is going to help? the vehicle has done less that 50K. :chairshot:
  2. Thanks Glenn - so i am not the only one being frustrated by rattles !! I am hoping that when the suspension/ride improves the rattles will reduce. I have heard that they are not the softest of vehicles ride wise but they wouldnt have sold very well if they were rolled out the factory with ride similar to mine ... !! I have been doing some reading and I am thinking my front shocks arent working as well as they should. The rear one was leaking when I had the vehicle pre-inspected. The Dealer had told me the car was "perfect" and apologised when issue was identified. I was told the read shocks were replaced ... thinking that the fronts need to go in an effort to solve the rattles and very poor ride.
  3. G'day ... I own a 2006 updated LX470 with 45K ks of the clock ... car is immaculate except the ride is rough. dealer replaced the accumulators and the ride is still rough ... the seats and dash vibrate when I hit a seemingly small bump ... any suggestions ...?
  4. I bought a 2006 model lx470 with 40Ks and the ride is as rough as bags. All four actuators were recently replaced but still no joy. the ride is very rough. every bump in the road can be felt. Any suggestions? sensors might be a problem?
