PSA: Sequoia Platinum Owners

I just broke the Part # 4890634020 Height sensor link. The ball joint the froze and snapped the head off one end. I managed to mend it until replacement part gets delivered.

After close inspection, there was fine sand particles or even salt that got in the dust cover. I soaked it with WD40, cranked and spun it till its free. Chopstick, duct tape and ziptied for now.

Start lubing that ball joint link before it breaks on you.

Did you post somewhere that you were riding around with the rear suspension in H position to accommodate for the lift you added to the front? I remember reading that from someone... Just throwing it out there that the manual says not exceed like 15 or 20 mph (don't remember the exact speed) in L or H with the rear air suspension. Maybe that caused the failure? Again, not sure if it was you, but I remember reading a post from someone who said they had the rear suspension set to H in order to compensate for the lift parts they were waiting on for the rear.

 

The H and L position is only meant for unhooking/hooking a trailer. The manual is the same, as soon as you drive, it will go back to normal height. Mine broke when I was backing in on an even terrain to hookup my camper. Upon investigating, the ball joint was frozen preventing it to freely move along with the lower control arm causing it to break.

 

My Sequoia Limited has air suspension, I’ll have a look
