Caution: Damage to the vehicle and air suspension system can be incurred if work is carried out in a manner other than specified in the instructions or in a different sequence.
To avoid the possibility of short circuits while working with electric components consult your owner's manual on how to disconnect your battery.
Consult your vehicle owner's manual,service manual, or car dealer for the correct jacking points on your vehicle and for additional care, safety and maintenance instructions. Under no circumstances should any work be completed underneath the vehicle if it is not adequately supported, as serious injuries and death can occur.
1.Set the steering to straight ahead.
2.Raise the vehicle.
3.Remove the front wheel.(picture 1)
4.Unplug the electrical connector from the air spring's solenoid.(picture 2)
5.Remove the air line from the air spring's solenoid. Push the collar in to release and pull the air line out.(picture 3)

9.Removal complete.
*Air Suspension Spring Removal Guideline
1.Rotate the air strut's solenoid counterclockwise to the first stop, then carefully pull out to depressurize the air spring.
2.Loosen the rod end nut and remove.
3.Turn the assembly upside down and using a flat head screwdriver depress the securing tabs to dislodge the piston from its position.
4.Remove the shock from the air spring assembly.
5.Pull the retainer pins holding the upper mount to the air spring top and pry the mount off. If a new mount was purchased you may disregard this step.
*Air Suspension Spring Installation Guideline
1.Clean the reused parts and apply the new o-rings and lubricant.
2.Install the new air spring onto the shock absorber.
3.Install either the reused or new top mount onto the air spring and firmly seat them together.
4.Secure the rod end nut and the retainer pins into place on the upper mount.
*Air Suspension Strut Installation Guideline
Installation is in reverse order of air strut removal.
*Removal Warning & Notice
Vent all air pressure from the air suspension system prior to disconnecting or removing any air suspension components. It is dangerous to remove air suspension components while under pressure. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
Any air spring which is unfolded must be refolded prior to being installed in a vehicle. Refer to the procedure. An incorrectly folded air spring could rupture, altering the handling characteristics of the vehicle. If a vehicle has been driven with an incorrectly folded air spring, a new air spring must be installed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
Failure to observe the following instructions may result in a sudden failure of the air spring or suspension system.
Any rear spring which is unfolded must be refolded prior to being installed in a vehicle.
The air spring refolding procedure should only be used for an air spring which has never supported the vehicle's weight while in the incorrectly folded position.
Incorrectly folded air springs found on vehicles during pre-delivery inspection or after use must be installed new.
Do not attempt to inflate any air spring which has been collapsed while uninflated from the rebound hanging position to the jounce stop.
When installing a new air spring, care must be taken not to apply a load to the suspension until springs have been inflated using the air spring fill procedure.
After inflating an air spring in the hanging position, it must be inspected for correct shape.
Note
The vehicle must be positioned on a suitable lifting device prior to deflating the air suspension system.
With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position on a hoist until the wheel and tire assemblies are slightly above the ground.
2.Using the scan tool, vent the air springs.
3.Remove the air spring retainer.
4.Detach the air spring from the rear axle.
5.Remove the air spring in the following sequence.
1.Disconnect the air spring solenoid electrical connector.
2.Compress the quick connect locking ring and pull out the air tube.
3.Remove the air spring.
Please double confirm the compatibility as well as the OEM number before purchasing.
Instruction is not included. Professional installation is recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to prevent the damage of air springs/How to extend the service life of air springs/struts etc.?
An air strut with separable air springs
If your vehicle offers a separable air suspension (Audi Allroad A6 C5, Mercedes-Benz W164, BMW X5, etc.), you should regularly (about once a week) lift the car to the maximum position, and remove dirt with a high-pressure cleaner (keep the cleaner at a distance to the air spring about 30 cm/12 inches, otherwise water pressure can damage the air spring). The highest position may vary depending on your model and regulation options. Therefore, please test this by trying the different modes available to you (Sport, comfort, dynamic, off-road) and choose the one that sets your vehicle to the highest position. The dirt will most likely be found under the fold of the pneumatic chambers. If you find a frozen layer of bitumen on the piston guide (the part of a strut on which the air spring is installed), it is recommended to clean it as well. Whenever possible, avoid riding on fresh asphalt, as fresh bitumen mixed with sand immediately results in a build-up of abrasives on the piston and in turn contributes to accelerated wear and tear of the air spring.
A complete air suspension shock
Many cars such as Mercedes W220 or W211 are set up with a complete air strut - shock absorber and air spring visually form a complete spare part. In many cases, you can easily recognize these by the metal cups with which the air spring is tightly mounted. To best avoid any damage, we highly recommend to regularly check the condition of the dust protection seals of the air strut.
What is the difference between an air spring and an air strut?
The air spring is a part of the air strut. Some vehicles (e.g. Mercedes ML) allow you to change the air spring separately. At our online shop you have the opportunity to buy either the whole air strut or only the air spring. For some type of vehicles it is not possible to change the air spring separately. In this case the whole air strut should be replaced.
Which side of my car is the Right and Left?
The right and left sides of an automobile are determined as if sitting in the car facing forward. Thus, the left side is on the left when sitting in the car facing forward, and the right side is on the right. For American cars, the drivers side is on the left, and the passenger sits to the right of the driver. For cars in Japan, Britain, Ireland, the Bahamas and some other former British colonies -- where they drive on the left side of the road -- the passenger sits on the left side, and the driver (along with all the driving controls) is on the right.
