Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Air Lines and Connectors Description
The air tube is a non-serviceable item consisting of the following:
- One connector at the ALC air dryer
- Two tubes between the ALC air dryer and the two rear shock absorbers
- Two connectors with spring clips, one at each rear shock absorber
At the rear shock absorbers, the air tube connectors are held on with spring clips which snap into the grooves of the shock absorber air fittings. Air tube connectors are sealed using 2 O-rings.
Although the tubes are flexible, care should be taken not to kink them and to keep them from contacting the exhaust system.
