2009 Ford Expedition Air Suspension Compressor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the air suspension compressor on 2009 Ford Expedition?

  A: 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.
