Lexus lx 470, low suspension fluid, effecting

If the hydraulic fluid is low you may need a new strut

You likely have a leaking air bag in the suspension, they last about 100,000 miles on average. Have a shop test the bags for leaks.

Do a wheel balance and front end alignment first.

Does the car have hydro-pneumatic suspension similar to big Citroen's? If so checked the level settings and fluid levels. If not you need to get the suspension checked, springs, shock absorbers and all linkages.

Hello motif22,

The fuel filter is located on the top of the engine towards the front right-hand side. See image below circled in red.



I hope this helps.

Regards,

If you are not getting any warm air in the car, you are most likely going to find that your engine cooling system is low on coolant.With the engine COLD, remove the filler cap on the coolant resevoir, and look to see if the fluid is up to the "FULL COLD" line. If it is not, you need to have the entire cooling system looked at to see if you have a leak in the system. Because coolant in a sealed system doesn't just disappear!

Try turning your air system off and jack up the SUV. move the control arms around, then up and down the best you can. Let the SUV down on the ground, take a look to see how level the SUV sits . It should reset itself when you turn back on the air supply system. If not, you may have punctured or damaged one or both of the airbags if you lifted the SUV without turning the air off first. You may get lucky, but remember to shut off air supply if you have bags for suspension in the furture.

The fuel filter is located on the front top of the engine.

Caution on what to put in the LX470 automatic height adjustment system. Dealer said unless correct fluid is put in the system the seals may fail. Specifically warned against break fluid. Cost to repair is over $3,000. I bought a can of the fluid at the Lexus dealer for about $26. The can was approx. 1/2 gallon.
