Feel like my 12 Lexus GX 460 suspension is wearing. Feeling all the bumps on our awesome Houston roads especially in the front end.
Took it to a local shop who said i needed new struts, but they wouldn't work on it due to the ride height sensors.
Took to Clear Choice aftermarket Lexus service today.
Said the shocks were fine, not leaking. "They either obviously fail or they are still good. "
Thinks the two airbags are dry rotting. Inflated them and will check for leaks in the morning. The full system was actually replaced under warranty by Lexus in 2018 about 50k miles ago. Seems way too early, but only got 5 years on the first set so… quoted $1300 ish.
Also showed me pics of some old radiator fluid and claimed a crack near the cap and needs full replacement. From the pics they sent looks just as likely it's from where the hose connects….or if a small crack there seems like you could repair with something like JB weld. Wanted $1200 for that…
Interested in thoughts.
