lordlondo:the air suspension is bad. It's leaking. That's what they call the balloon. Scan it to rule out the air suspension compressor. But my bet is on the air spring (balloon) leaking. 1 Like |

Is there any whistling sound around the rear tyres? I'm suspecting the balloon. 2005 BMW x5 balloon is 25k (a pair, that's both legs) Share the price of yours after buying. Let's be practical here. 3 Likes |

lordlondo: It could be torn air line or leaky bag. Get it ramped and physically inspect it. Since the switch is still working, start saving for repairs or replacement. It might just suddenly fail on you. A picture exists on nairaland of a chap that changed his to springs. |

lordlondo: The air suspension may be leaking. If possible stop driving the car and get it checked out immediately as the pump might go bad from pumping incessantly to compensate for the air loss. |

lordlondo: Balloons are bad. You would have to inspect and replace them ASAP! And I advice you stop pumping them. |

Get some soap and water spray it to find the leak |

Covidhunger20: I was the one that changed from balloon to spring that time. The air balloon is one of the main problems with GX470. I used it for 4 years then sold it off. https://www.nairaland.com/2029459/replaced-gx470-faulty-air-suspension 1 Like |

| Re: LEXUS GX 470 2004 Back Axile Keeps Going Down by kingreign(m): 10:43pm On May 09, 2020 |
lordlondo: Balloon leaks, or plumbing leaks or height leveling sensor out if sync. |
