Lexus LX470 Parts

The Lexus LX470, the second generation in the Lexus LX series, debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 1998 and set a high benchmark in the full-size luxury SUV market. Made by Lexus, a premium division of Toyota, this model continued the brand's legacy of excellence and upgrade in performance, encapsulated in the acronym "LX" standing for "Luxury Crossover." Built on the robust architecture of the long-standing Toyota Land Cruiser SUVs, the LX470 was powered by an LEV-certified 4.7-liter V8 engine and boasted features like Adjustable Height Control (AHC), Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), and an optional electronic locking front. Its exterior dimensions were substantial, at 192.5 inches in length and 76.4 inches in width. Noteworthy is the accolades it received, being recognized as the best luxury SUV in initial quality in 2000, 2002, and 2004 by J.D. Power and Associates. Over the years, LX470 saw many additions and improvements. The 2003 model received minor exterior tweaks and a renewed interior. Features like Bluetooth connectivity, a backup camera, and a 5-speed transmission were added. The 2005 upgrade saw the inclusion of the VVT-I system to the engine, improving power output to 275 hp. The vehicle also came equipped with cutting-edge safety features like Vehicle Stability Control, brake assist, and an option of the Night View infrared camera safety system. On the entertainment front, an in-dash six-disc CD changer was a standard feature from 1998, and an 11-speaker Mark Levinson premium sound system was added later. In essence, the Lexus LX470 was a testament to Lexus's commitment to producing high-quality vehicles with luxurious features and sturdy auto parts.

Despite the high praise for the Lexus LX470's quality and reliability, it is not immune to typical wear and tear that leads to problems. A common issue is difficulty starting, particularly on exceptionally cold days, often flagged by metallic or whining engine noises, decreased power, acceleration and fuel efficiency, and a lit Check Engine Light. Regular inspection of the ignition coil, oil filter, spark plug, drive belt, fuel filter, and air filter can prevent this. Suspension and braking failures are also common, with suspension issues causing grinding or roaring tire noises and uneven tire wear, often due to a faulty strut housing or wheel bearing. Braking failure, characterized by noisy brakes, poor response, a spongy pedal, and leaking brake fluids, usually requires replacement of the brake pad set and brake caliper. To maintain your LX470's optimal condition, routine maintenance is essential. Parts that need regular attention include the wiper blades, which work in adverse weather conditions; the seat belt, which keeps occupants safe during crashes; and the door lock, which secures your vehicle. These parts wear out quickly due to frequent use and should be routinely maintained.
