(Home) 91 Liteace shocks and suspension

Hello, and greetings from the Bahamas. I bought a 91 liteace in August of 02 direct from Japan. The price was right and I love the van but I can't get any parts from the US, which is only 60 miles away. So...I have a problem with my TEMS system and the van just has no suspension at all. I think there must be a pump or compressor, but where? There is no sound I can find to lead me to the gas source. and looking at the shocks there doesent seem to be any tubes for filling the shocks????. Also, there are (seem to be) adjustments on the control arms, indicated by graduted markings on their bushings. Is this a height adjustment? The van leans to the front right.

Lots of questions, I hope I don't sound dummer than a sack of hammers.
best regards, Jim Neill, Freeport

the shocks (which are gas filled) are controlled by a motor on top of each. These motors are computer controlled, acting on inputs from steering, speedo, and brakes. If you can get a copy of the Chiltons manual for Cressida and Van, it has some pertinent info...

the graduated adjustments are for camber, for ride height, look at the end of the torsion bar, about halfway back on the vehicle. Nut and locknut to adjust the preload of the bar.
