I replaced my two front air springs a month ago. I still have a minor leak at the air connection on each of new air springs. I suspect that I did not push the air line in far enough during installation.

Can anyone share advice on how they make that connection? My hands are not small enough to get a good grip on the air line! Wonder if I should heat the tube to make it more pliable?

Thanks in advance

Did you lubricate the o-rings? Make sure the line is good and clean and the the surface is smooth. Did you use new o-rings?

 

Check what Krazz said and then use some long needle nose pliers to push it in.

 

Thanks guys.

I will try the pliers...HOWEVER..I did not see an o-ring at this connection? I did not use one during the initial assembly. Are you sure one is used at the connection to the top of the Air Suspension bladder?

Thanks

 

Yes, there are two o-rings on top of the bladders. the are between the housing and brass collet. You can also just put some vaseline on the hose before you put it in.
