Bad Leak

[mrblades]

I have a really bad leak with my air ride suspension in the passenger front. I started checking where the leak may be and it appears it's right where the line connects to the air bag. When I lift up the air bag, the line pops out and is barely held in place. So far, I've used hydraulic sealant and hoping it will keep the line in place. Is there any better fix??? I know I'm not doing it right

Maybe just get a new fitting that screws into the air bag. Pretty simple and easy. Make sure the line is cut straight. If its where the fitting screws into the bag..then, not sure...hopefully your threads arent stripped.

Do you have one of our kits?
Do you have regular air springs (bags) or are you using Shockwaves?
What kind of car is this in?

If you have one of our kits you have a DOT approved "push to connect" fitting (either brass or plastic). To secure the air line to the fitting you must first be sure the airline is cut straight and clean (not pinched). We use a special cutting tool, however, you can use a razor blade if you have nothing else:

Once the airline is cut, press it into the fitting until it bottoms out, then give a slight tug back. This seats the airline in the fitting. You are done!

If the fitting is coming out of the bag it may have damaged the fitting, damaged the threads on the fitting, or damaged the threads in the air spring or Shockwave.

If you have pictures of your issue it would help in determining the problem.
