  1. It was the garden hose washer issue. Too much space behind the gear. Removed the gear, added 2 washers behind the gear, and it worked like a charm. It would have been an even quicker fix had we not done it at night with a flashlight and dropped one of the screws. : )
  2. Have watched video and seen tutorial to fix auto telescoping tilt. Have removed everything down to screw/washer that holds gear on. When I try to turn bolt, the gear turns so that I cannot remove the bolt that holds the gear on. Is there something I am missing?
  3. 94 LS wouldn't start. Jumped it, and car started. Drove it a couple of blocks, and with headlights on, the dash lights go out. When you turn the headlights off, the dash lights go on. Has anyone ever heard of this? We have done Jim's instrument cluster replacement both for dash and radio/heat. Any ideas?
  4. We also bought air struts on ebay. Advertised as 1990-1994 LS. Seller (after purchase still claims it came from 94, which is our model). We got left front, left rear, right rear. Turns out left front is 1990-1992 (we think). Anyway, the left rear worked for us, and we bought a remanufactured front left. We were out $600, including labor, and still have the left front and right rear. Still beats $1300 quote from dealer for left front only. I'd be hesitant to sell the extras on e-bay, because I'd hate to sell a "pig in a poke". Arnott offered $25.00 each for the extras, which is weird considering they gave us $50 for the left front they knew to be broken. DH wants to keep the extras at that price.
  5. Have 1994 LS 400 with electronic air suspension. Both the left front and left rear have gone out. Lexus dealer quotes $1300+ for left front only. Does anyone know of conversion kits that will work or any more feasible solution for repair?
  6. Just a note to warn about buying from internet car dealers. As an attorney, we recently ended a case after two years of litigation over such a deal. Buyer buys a new vehicle from internet dealer. Internet seller actually obtained the vehicle from an out-of-state brick and mortar dealership. The Brick and Mortar dealership gave possession of the vehicle to the internet dealer. Internet dealer gives the dealership a check which was less than the full amount due. Internet dealer gives the check back to Internet Dealer saying to bring back a check for the correct amount. Brick and mortar dealership keeps the title, but puts a paper tag on the vehicle and allows internet dealer to deliver it to Buyer. Buyer pays internet dealer in full, but internet dealer doesn't deliver any title, telling buyer it is "in the works". After the paper tag expires, Buyer discovers internet dealer never paid brick and mortar dealership for the car. So, Buyer has possession of a vehicle he paid for, but no title, and brick and mortar dealership has a title but no vehicle. Internet dealer takes bankruptcy. Neither local, state, nor federal authorities would file criminal charges, stating that it was a "civil matter". After two years of litigation, the dealership finally delivered the title. So, the moral to this story is beware of dealing with unknown internet dealers, even though their price may be a little cheaper. By the way, the brick and mortar dealership said that they would have sold the vehicle directly to buyer for the same price that internet dealer quoted.
  7. I have a 1994 LS. The driver door handle got a deep scratch in the paint, and I didn't repair it. Now the door handle has broken in half. The dealership quoted $322.41 for new handle. Does anybody have any better options?
