I just about to replace my front left air shock on my rx300. Its not due to a leak, but the internal upper shock mount which has gone (73k). Its a ridiculous design fault that these cannot be changed as they can be on a 'normal' coilover! I did mange to get a discount from the local dealer, but the part still cost me nearly 700 quid :shutit: P.S. I wonder how many have been changed as a result of the crazy 'push in' plastic connector at the top of the shock underneath the plastic cover? such a cheap design!

Could it be a loose bolt on a heat shield underneath the car?

Rx300 Air Suspension

Rob, I have a similar problem with my 04 SE-L, except its just the rear drivers side that's stuck in the air. No error messages, and I can still select different ride heights, but the rear drivers side doesn't move. I did a bit of surfing last night and it seems the air suspension is prone to 'issues'. The level sensors often break and are a weak link (£350 each) and worse still is the air compressor at a whopping £1100. My car is booked in to the dealer next Friday, I'm praying its just the level sensor.... Needed all four sensors replaced. £1600 in total urrrgggghhhhhh -
