Replacing rear air sleeves
Air springs carry load through pressurized sleeves, and the rubber wears with heat, age and road salt. Look for cracks, bulges, abrasion against the frame or axle and any oil or grime that suggests a leak. A sleeve that will not hold pressure overnight needs replacing, and sagging on one side often points to the rear bag rather than the shock.
Jounce bumpers take up the impact when the suspension compresses fully. A bumper that is cracked or missing lets the frame contact the axle, so inspect it during a sleeve change. Replacing sleeves and jounce bumpers together keeps the rear ride even, since an old part on one side can change how the other side works under load.
Before disconnecting any line, release the air pressure in the system and support the frame properly. Work one side at a time when possible, which keeps the vehicle stable and makes it easier to match routing and fittings.
- Inspect sleeves for cracks and bulges
- Check jounce bumpers for cracking
- Release pressure before disconnecting lines
