      When you Extended the air shock during the install did you leave it that way when you let the car down off of the Jack and the car sat higher than the old shock. I've never installed a air shock before. I order the same shocks for my 89 Mustang and when I took them out of the box they wasn't close the the same length as the stock shocks. Is that how there supposed to be installed

      I extended them that way i could bolt em on. I still had to add air to them afterwards.

    If I go around a long bend will the air favour the inside shock or are there NRVS before the T junction (shock side ) ?

    i wanna know how to life hack FIX (not detect) the leaks will happen with air shocks. yes you can re-cut the ends of the air lines, but it seems air shock systems always leak no matter what. Im guessing in general air shocks just aint made well

    If you lower the ride, do the air shocks allow for the shocks to go down and absorb bumps still? My car is low amd I dont want it to hit the ground when I hit bumps

    • @Wrenchlife604
      @Wrenchlife604  3 роки тому

      Air shocks wont help you if you want to keep it low. If you like being low and dont want the car to dip down when you hit a bump. You will need a higher spring rate spring. They usualy ride stiff and harsh but will prevent you from bottoming out

    Great video I just install them myself I'm a diy gal..😊 how much more air can you put on your air shorck? I went to the tire shop n I ask the guy to put air he put 90 and I left ..I was scared I didn't wanna blow up a line ...need your advise. Was I still able to put more air ?

    • @Wrenchlife604
      @Wrenchlife604  3 місяці тому

      depends on the brand. think monroe says 150 psi max but have a minimum of 20-50psi. 90psi should still be fine

      my local part store carys them. if not anyone should be able to order them if they make them for your vehicle. search rockauto and get a part number. then call your auto parts place with the part number.

    I just installed these and I’m having Trouble from my rear passenger side, when I put air into the shocks it only lifts the rear driver side. Both shocks seem fine and the bag inflates as it should...The rear passenger side won’t even move up or down when I jack up the car....any suggestions?

    • @Wrenchlife604
      @Wrenchlife604  3 роки тому +1

      Could be a deffective air shock. Or a clogged in the line after the "T" i would get them exchanged for a new set.

    i bought these shocks and when i was installing them the left side went on perfect but when i went to do the right side the bottom mounting hole on the shock was turned and wont line up, did this happen to you also or was your install easy?

    • @Wrenchlife604
      @Wrenchlife604  3 роки тому

      Nope. Install on mine went pretty easy. Are you shure you cant turn and align the mounting point of the shock end?
