Air Compressor

The air suspension compressor servicing requires complete air pressure removal from the suspension system for safety reasons to avoid severe injury. Start the procedure by first taking off the inner fender edge cover before detaching the air line from the compressor drier through lock ring compression and line extraction. Remove first the electrical connector then the air compressor air intake hose from its fittings. The assembly of air compressor with its bracket can be extracted after removing three bolts with torque of 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) to be reapplied during reinstallation. Check that the white part of the air line enters completely into the fittings as a step in performing correct installation. Ensure the bracket has no trapped objects beneath or on it and perform a test for air compressor contact with other components that could generate vibrations and check its smooth movement in rubber isolators. The bracket should not show deformed shape because this would force the three rubber isolators to load improperly. The installation ends when you carry out an inverse process of the removal sequence.

The first step for repairing or servicing the air suspension compressor demands venting all air pressure from the system to minimize potential injuries. Start the procedure by detaching the inner fender splash shield followed by disconnecting the air line from the compressor drier through lock ring compression and line pull-out. The next step demands removal of the air compressor air intake hose together with the electrical connector. When reassembling the air compressor and bracket assembly replace the three bolts which need to be tightened to 15 Nm (133 lb-in) torque. Make sure to completely insert the white internal part of the air line into its fitting to achieve correct installation. Verify that nothing remains caught beneath or on the bracket while ensuring the air compressor keeps away from surrounding elements to minimize vibration noise and moves easily through all rubber isolators. Verify that bracket deformatiions are absent because such deformations would create forces pushing rubber isolators against each other. The finish installation process requires doing the reverse actions of removal steps.

The procedure to work on the air suspension compressor begins with taking out the inner fender splash shield. The air line attachment to the compressor drier will become void after compressing the quick connect lock ring inward followed by pulling the line away from the air drier. The first task should be to remove the air compressor air intake hose followed by disconnecting its electrical connector. The service and repair of the air compressor with bracket involves removing the three bolts to take out everything together but requires a 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) torque setting for these bolts when installing it back. Fully insert the white part of air lines into the fitting for correct installation during setup. Examine if objects remain hidden underneath or on the bracket before making sure the air compressor avoids contact with surrounding elements that might result in resonance noises. Please check that both the rubber isolators provide smooth movement to the air compressor as well as inspect the bracket for any deformities which would prevent the isolators from remaining separated. The installation must end with the opposite sequence of step removal.
