Q: What Are the Crucial Steps to Follow When Servicing an Air Suspension to Prevent Damage or Personal Injury on Ford Crown Victoria?
A: Vehicle damage and personal injuries will be prevented by checking that the air spring has no pressure remaining before removal. High-pressure venting occurs when disconnecting an air line from the compressor because this creates unsafe conditions which may harm users and their surroundings. The inflation or installation of any folded rear air spring will trigger fast system or air spring failure. After installation, any unfolded rear spring needs refolding but this procedure works only on air springs that did not support vehicle weight while folded incorrectly. The inspection detects improper air spring folds and requires air springs as replacements. It is unsafe to inflate any air spring which collapsed from its normal position because it leads to the jounce stop therefore airing inflation is forbidden. New air springs require the air spring fill process before suspension loading can start and the air spring should undergo shape inspection after inflation. The service technician needs to position the vehicle on the lifting device while turning off the air suspension switch located on the left-hand side of the luggage compartment before proceeding with deflation. Lift the vehicle before you remove its rear air spring retainer and raise the bottom section off the rear axle to detach it. The vehicle requires an electrical connector disconnection followed by pushing the red air line retaining ring then disconnecting the air line. When installing the suspension do not allow compression to occur before air spring inflation. Apply the air spring assembly into its frame seat and fasten the spring retainer clip before setting the air spring bottom onto the rear axle. The installation requires a full insertion of the white air line into its fitting so that proper attachment is achieved. Secure the electrical connector while connecting the air line to the proper shape of air spring without folds or creases before refilling the air springs.
