Air Spring, Driver Side

Prior to air spring servicing always check that the spring contains no pressure because it protects both the vehicle and personnel from harm. Before servicing the air spring the vehicle needs to be placed on suitable lifting equipment with deflated air suspension system pressure. The technician should support the lifted vehicle while the air suspension system remains deflated. Disconnect the air spring solenoid electrical connector and air line by pressing on the quick connect locking ring to reduce it and extracting the air line. To remove the air spring first lift its bottom section upward and activate the locking tabs found at the air spring seat bottom before rotating the air spring outward. Install the system by conducting the reverse steps of uninstallation.

Any servicing operation on air springs must occur when the springs are no pressure so vehicle damage and personal injury can be avoided. Use proper lifting equipment for the vehicle then drain the air suspension system. You should raise and support the vehicle when the system reaches its deflated state. Connectors for the air spring solenoid and air line can be detached after you push down the quick connect ring lock and extract the line. First lift the bottom of the air spring upwards before you depress the locking tabs on the bottom of the air spring seat then you can remove the air spring through this sequence of tabs depression and rotational motion. Perform the reversed removal steps for new air spring installation to secure its proper position.

Place the air spring on a flat surface.
