We decide to make this video, because we receive questions from clients or colleagues – How to install correctly the air spring without Star Diag or any other special tools. If you don`t install it correctly, it will incline and the rubber sleeves will tear for maximum 2days. Too bad. In our clip you will see how to remove the air spring and after that to install the new one. You will understand how to unwind the bolt, nut , control arms and how to tighten them finally.
In situation when rear air spring leaking, after 10-15minutes it wouldn`t have air in it. First you have to remove air lines and electrical connectors. If there is an air in the air spring, you have to remove air pipe to reservoir /4corner air suspension/ If the car is with only 2 rear air springs without airmatic you have to activate solenoid in the air spring cap. You have to use wires and connect them to solenoid to open the valve and deflate the pressure. See the pictures and videos for some ideas
