    Suspension Diagnosis

    I find the most unatractive aspect of my 98 LSC is the "busyness" telegraphed to the steering wheel. I'm still on what I believe to be original air with no problems, no clunks or other noises, corners fantastic. But going from my Toyota Avalon to the Mark, the smallest imperfection in the road...

    Pioneer installed but no sound

    I know there's an audio forum, but I'm also aware a few people here have installed the same/similar stereo (X710BT). Powers up and all functions work. No sound until I pull the RCA plugs halfway apart, then they work fine. Don't really want to run new wires. I want to be able to put the...

    I'd love to add homelink visors to my "98 base Mark VIII, but won't spend $100 to do it, which is the cheapest I see on ebay. If you have some tan/beige visors that will fit my car for around $50, let me know. Bob.

    Suspension Questions

    I'm very pleased with the performance of my '98 base model. The air suspension is fantastic as far as cornering and absorbing bumps, probably one of the best rides I've experienced. But...I am experiencing "jitters", similar to body flex that I used to get in my convertibles, just busy little...

    Car's up, I'm not!

    I'm not sure whether it's just me, but I seem to sit awful low in the Mark compared to other cars. Raising the seat to the limit doesn't really get me up as high as I would like. Maybe the previous owner was somewhat beefy and depressed the seat. The motors seem to work in all directions, but...

    Driving with Air Suspension turned off?

    My compressor's getting (to me) kinda loud. My air suspension seems to be holding up pretty good and operates as it should. My main issue is when I'm doing some running around town, every time I stop, the car vents down, then has to be pumped back up. Not sure why it does that, maybe ease of...

    I'd rather be waxing

    Any experience that car washes add to the demise of head light/tail light enclosures? Our local wash has a Wenesday special for $3 I run my Toyota through every week. I know hand washing is preferred, but any evidence that the jets/brushes add to the deterioration of light enclosures/seals...

    Stuck in middle of blend door fix

    Following Jamie's instructions on replacing the blend door actuator without removing the steering column. I've found and removed all the bolts/nuts. I'm at the point in the post where you "pull the driver's side of the dash out toward the seat a few inches". Well, it's not giving at all...

    Air bag preventive maintenance?

    Is there proven/suggested preventive maintenance for the air shock bags? In my searches I can only find suggestions of cleansing with soap and water, making sure there are no pebbles or other impediments to the bags. I wanted to know if coating these liberally with WD40 (displaces moisture)...
