Air spring care and replacement
Air springs work under constant load and pressure, so their condition affects ride height and comfort. Inspect the bellows for cracks, abrasion and bulges, and check the fittings for seepage. Springs often age together, so when one fails, examining the spring on the other side can show whether it is also nearing the end of its life.
Replacing a single spring is a practical repair, but match the position and fitment before ordering. Use the correct tools for the air fittings, and confirm the truck is supported before work begins. After installation, check the system for leaks and watch ride height over the first few days of driving.
- Inspect bellows for cracks and abrasion
- Check fittings for air seepage
- Compare the spring on the opposite side
- Confirm the truck is supported before work
