Spring, Front Coil: Operation
All pressurized air suspension components contain high pressure air (up to 220 psig). Use extreme caution when inspecting for leaks. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing when inspecting or servicing the air suspension system. A sudden release of air under this amount of pressure can cause possible serious or fatal injury.
Before performing any service on the air suspension system, the system must be disabled to prevent the system from changing ride height. Before any given component is to be serviced it must be deflated. Servicing the air suspension system without the system disabled, or with pressure in any specific component, can cause possible serious or fatal injury.
For vehicles without air suspension, a coil over shock is used. For vehicles with air suspension, an air suspension spring and shock assembly works the same as a coil over shock with the exception of an air bag replacing the spring to adjust vehicle height, depending on driving conditions and driver input. An air line is attached to the air suspension spring and shock assembly on the top. For more information on the air suspension system, refer to AIR SUSPENSION .
