Very good point i'll leave him to do it himself. I just wanted to order the parts myself before hand thats all to save time of my car at his garage.

No but through my research its not a straight swap over

70000km and no vibration

So what exactly is the recommended RON for a Lexus?

Sorry i know this is a bit late but finally need to convert. I don't have a manual, can you please direct me to as where or which fuses needs to be removed? or if someone has it on a pdf that'd be very helpful thanks.

The steering wheel just points left when your going straight. So i thought its just an easy alignment job, paid $50 and the steering is point right now while its going straight. Its just annoying more than anything.

Hello I need new bushings (1990 Lexus Ls400 with airbags but soon strutmasters) but a shop asked me which ones! This is what happens, go over speed bumps slowly it creaks, Full look in the car park it makes a sound, on the highway when u have long turns it wants to push wide. And caused uneven tyrewear so that i can't get a proper wheel alignment. Anyone know which bushing i would need? Any diagram on how to replace them?

Thanks for that Problem i am facing now is that in Australia there doesn't seem to be anyone with something for it. Like apparently you cant just get some Koni shocks and King springs and whack it on because it won't work you need the bit at the top to screw on or something. Is this true? On that website it says strutmasters. Anyone used these before are they good? Are strutmasters my only option for a conversion from air to conventional stuff? Anyone else know of anything else. I have to order something from the states and import it in i think.

Hello I have 1 bad air strut on 1990 Lexus LS400 and even after starting the car in the morning, the ride height does not normalise to where its spose to be. So i guess its time to change it to conventional stuff. So i was wondering if someone can post me the required pdf (especially the rear cause i can't seem to find it). or any helpful html. I've done a search found some for the front but not 100% sure if its for the 90-95 model or the 95-99 model. Also any particular type of springs and shocks recommended? In Australia it seems the most popular is Koni. Thanks in advance

Hello Im not too good with computers so there may be somewhere on here that has pictures but i can't find it. Im wanting to put later model stock LS400 wheels onto my GENI Ls400. I just don't know which ones but. I like the 16' from the 98 models or even something from even later. Could anyone post pics of their GENI Ls400 with later model wheels so i can see Thankyou in advance

I think they are pinned on and not stuck on. Thats the case on my Celsior

Can you post a pic? i've seen water run from the side of the trunk into the light area but then back out. I thought it was just a perfect drain/run off.

Yes thankyou

Mine aint bashed like that. That thing looks like it was stolen and taken for a joy ride. im going to definetly change it to the conventional setup. Does someone have the link to a page where it shows you how its done? Ride wise its still very light and predictable. Still predictable to the point that i probably can drive it with 2 fingers. :o] Unfortuantely the ride is better sometimes than others. The problem is still very come and go at the moment i think.

Hello I have the GENI 90 LS400. I have noticed on some mornings but not every morning funnily enough that the car seems lower. I've done some reading up on the forum and yes figure its "Premature" signs of failure. This is where i am at. So that i know to look for more signs of trouble. What are these signs i should take note of? ie how do i know its time to change the system to springs and shocks? I mean it still feels alright at the moment on the road nothing too dramatic yet but is there spose to be a dramtic change to signal that its time for new suspension? Secondly when i walk into a suspension or wheel shop. What do i say needs to be changed? Springs and shocks? Does springs and shocks automatically mean i get new bushing because they probably been worn too? Is there a link that shows how the swap is done. I'll print it off and take it to a shop maybe. Thanks in advance

After unplugging the negative terminal for about half an hour the sound still remains.

Thanks Yep i noticed it shakes a bit and can feel it through the steering wheel at 2000rpm (while in neutral). When u drive to 3000rpm, as u take off your foot off gas, and it goes past this one point around 2000rpm, it shakes and theres a hiss sound from underneath the car like from exhaust. when u just rev it to 2000rpm and when u let off when the shake occurs, u still get that hiss sound. Maybe theres a bit more clue. Would the fuel injector cleaner products help do you think?

Thanks i'll try that and yeah it does normally pronouce itself at about 2000rpm. It does happen later too but its loudest around there plus also as the engine revs quicker the engine is louder so its harder to hear. But it doesn't happen when car is in neutral. Only after driving for a while especially at 2000rpm.

Thanks I didn't get an owners manual when i got the car so i really didn't know if it needed PULP or not. But thanks for your help. If problem persists then i'll take it from there. Army of one. Do you have any idea or hazard to take a guess what it is. It definetly on happens when warm and never cold. Even when its warm and idling in neutural and u step on gas, u can't reproduce the sound. But its definetly like a pinging ticking and only happens after a long drive.

How do i check if i got a bad EGR? Is there someway to check thanks

Thanks for the info. Thought they were the same but they must be different.

The sound only happens after driving it till its warm. Sound is not there when cold, or when warm initially only after driving for a while. Then it comes whenever u accelerate. Because of that i don't think it could be something loose because if it is it should do that when its cold too. I noticed that the exhaust is extremely hot after parking the car because you can hear a lot of excessive metallic ticks from underneath the car. Could this have anything to do with it? Thanks Econ by the way

Hello I got a 15yo Ls400 with air suspension. I can hear clanking when turning so it might need bushings and whatnot. However i just came across this http://planetsoarer.com/nitrogen/nitrogen.htm Is this worth doing and spending money on the bushings or should i just wait for the airsuspension to die (because it will) and then start spending money. Thanks

After driving it with the octane booster it still pings however doesn't seem to be as much as it used to. Is there anything else that could cause a ping? Anything else i could check. Or does octane booster take some time to work? Or will it take a couple of tanks of premium before it will go away. Im not spose to use the car when pinging occurs yet i need to get rid of the unleaded, what a dilema!

Apparently we have bad fuel quality in australia
