Spring, Front Coil: Description: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING:

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 personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Support the vehicle by supplemental means before performing any work on the air suspension system to prevent the vehicle from changing height. Before any given component is to be serviced it must be deflated. Servicing the air suspension system without supplemental support, or with pressure in the specific component, can cause personal injury or death.

For vehicles without air suspension, a coil over shock is used.

NOTE:

Before disconnecting a shock on an air suspension (SER) equipped vehicle, the spring and shock assembly must be deflated.

For air suspension (SER) equipped vehicles, an air suspension spring and shock assembly (2) replaces the coil over shock on the front of the vehicle. The air suspension spring and shock assembly incorporates the air spring, shock, mounting brackets, and an air fitting (1) for the air line. Service for the air suspension spring and shock assembly is as a complete assembly.
