Confirm that your original air spring's OE number matches one of the compatible numbers listed (e.g., 37106781827, 37106781828, 37106781843, 37106781844, 37106784378, 37106784379, 37106784380, 37106784381).
Setup: Installation of an air spring requires specialized knowledge and tools. It is strongly recommended to have this part installed by a qualified mechanic experienced with air suspension systems. The process typically involves safely lifting the vehicle, disconnecting the old air spring, connecting the new one, and properly inflating and testing the system. After installation, the vehicle's air suspension system may need to be recalibrated using diagnostic software to ensure correct ride height settings.
Care: Arnott air springs are designed for durability. Regular visual inspections of the air lines and the air spring bellows for any signs of damage or leaks are advisable. Avoid exposing the air spring to harsh chemicals or excessive road debris. Ensure the vehicle's suspension components are kept clean. While the unit itself requires minimal direct maintenance, proper care of the overall air suspension system is crucial for longevity.
