    When I saw the run time of 14 minutes for the video, I was like "Oh, I'm sure this went as smooth as can be." lol
    I'm very glad that you are documenting this. It is "shocking" to see how much trouble this is giving you. I am wondering, though, if the rear spacers should be tilted inward to line up with the angle of the shock. Those bushings look like they're being twisted in a way that will hasten their decline.
    Thanks again for doing what you do. It's very helpful and interesting.

      That's a great point thanks. I'll check them this morning. I'm back at the warehouse since someone asked me to do a flex test with no anti roll bar. I'm back on the fork lift antics 😂

    I hope ih8mud has some advice for you! That being said I watched a video on how to replace ahc shock bushings recently "AHC bushing replacement Toyota landcruiser 100 series with Carl"
    I think pulling the shock will allow you to drain it and compress it enough. Also that way you won't lose that much..... Then you have the added trouble of "whilst your in there" might as well replace the shock bushings 😂

      I think I'm going to leave it the hell alone for now. Next time I drain the system I'll also bleed the shock/ram. Looks like they were replaced in the last few years already, but I'll inspect those bushings

    I put new King springs and AHC lift kit in about 2 hours. Was easy job. No bleeding needed, just undo the lower bolts for the shocks.

      How did you get the front shock to compress?

      ​@@landcruiserscotlandwhen you have everything at the lowest position, insert loooo ng bolt or rod to the shocks hole. Insert only so far that shock stays in place over the shock mount. Jack up again ( so far that you have room to insert new part) and then use 2 jack stands ,both sides of the lower arm, so that you can rest the long bolt on them. Then remove the jack up and put the new part in place. Jack up again and remove the long bolt and everything should align just fine. Worked for me.

      Jack stands! That's genius. What a great idea. Thankyou

      ​@@landcruiserscotlandNo problem. May also work with one jack stand if the cv axle gets on the way and can't insert the bolt all the way. It has been 5 years since I have done the lift kit so my memory is a bit hazy......

    Feel your pain. Currently on the cold UK drive under my 100 doing AHC delete. Always a sticking plaster repair with AHC now they're old. Anyone needing OE torsion bars and accumulators?? Release fluid from each front accumulator bleed nipple.

      Oh boy that's a shocker of a job to do on the floor. What kit did you order to replace ahc?

      @landcruiserscotland Tell me about it. I drilled the boot floor for top rear shock access. 1 torsion bar left to do today then finished. Been a fighter all the way, rusty nuts😬. Went with the Pedders 45mm lift kit from Rough Tracks. Had my Cruiser 6 weeks and +£2500 in all ready. Looking at very long term ownership. Keep the super videos coming. All very helpful. Cheers

      I had the Pedders on my old Sorento and it was superb. I'd be happy having that on the 100 series but I like my super plush AHC :D

    czy to coś zmieni, lift zawieszenie w przypadku AHC będę regulować położenia czujników wysokości.

    That front shock shouldn't be hard hard To compress. Have you somehow bent it/or it's blown out? Only reason I can think it wouldn't compress for you

    • @landcruiserscotland
      @landcruiserscotland  10 дней назад

      It's under massive hydraulic pressure due the the active ride height system. Nearly 15 bar 😎

      @landcruiserscotland AHH so is this not a damper then but actually a cylinder.
      I take it you can't bleed down the system then temporarily?

    • @landcruiserscotland
      @landcruiserscotland  10 дней назад +1

      Yes these are the liftie bois not the squashie bois. I did a drain and it didn't work. Seems the ram stays rammed unless I remove it completely from the hydraulic lines.

      Waitbwas this filmed with the broke front sensor from the other day? Could it be the ram stayed up as a safety feature

      @@landcruiserscotland ah that makes sense. I removed the feed lines and cut the tops of the front shocks for my formula 1 esque speed suspension swop ( over 2 days lol)That certainly releases the pressure. Shock still full of fluid on removal.
