Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your air spring and ensures optimal performance.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the air spring for signs of wear, cracks, punctures, or air leaks. Check the rubber bellows, mounting plates, and air line connections.
- Cleanliness: Keep the air spring and surrounding area free from dirt, debris, oil, and corrosive substances.
- Air System Integrity: Ensure your vehicle's air supply system (compressor, dryer, valves, lines) is functioning correctly to prevent contamination or improper pressure.
- Avoid Over-Extension/Compression: Ensure suspension stops are in good condition to prevent the air spring from over-extending or over-compressing, which can cause damage.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your air spring, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air Leak / Loss of Pressure | Damaged air line, loose fitting, punctured air bag, faulty valve. | Inspect all connections and the air bag for damage. Use soapy water to locate leaks. Tighten fittings or replace damaged components. |
| Uneven Ride Height | Uneven air pressure, faulty leveling valve, obstructed air line. | Check air pressure in each air spring. Inspect leveling valves and air lines for blockages or malfunctions. |
| Air Compressor Runs Constantly | System leak, faulty pressure sensor, compressor malfunction. | Identify and repair any leaks. Check pressure sensor and compressor operation. |
For complex issues or if you are unsure about a repair, it is highly recommended to consult a certified mechanic or contact TORQUE customer support.
