Conversion to shock and coil on FJ 100: Help Please

Post by Jay »

Hi guys I know I belong to the Rover forum and should not be here but I really acknwledge the durability of Totyota.

My brother has an FJ 100 late 98 model with the hydraulic suspension system. When he bought it used it was very bouncy and we had to change the expensive hydraulic accumulators...Then by mistake water got in to the hydraulic oil bottle and damaged two hydraulic accumulators...Now one appears to be damaged and truck bounces like crazy after hitting a pothole or uneven road

How long these hydraulic accumulators are supposed to last?
How can I convert to regular OME suspension and is it advisable? Will the truck loose from its resale value?
