All,
Just wanted to get feedback on my prospective proactive maintenance. My all my air suspension components are original, 2007 (90k miles now) and I am thinking about replacing before failure.
In the collective LR3/4 community, what would be the first component to replace? I have an AMK compressor that seems to be running fine, though i have no comparison, as well as the air struts. The only issue I had was compressor overheating a bit whilst doing some rockcrawling on a trail ride this weekend (raising up, down often). So just thought I would throw it out there-
Which would you all proactively replace first in the Air Suspension system?
Thanks!

proactive maintenance? sure - compressor service/rebuild kit, dryer cap, desiccant, filter, clean (or o-ring kit) f/r valve blocks, leak test, etc

proactive replacement? if it ain't broke . . .

 

Noted and makes sense- Just get a little worried when doing more challenging terrain-
Thank you!

 

The dryer is the big ticket item. That desiccant will NOT be in good shape and has already likely contaminated the lines/valve blocks. I did not think AMK was used in 2007 model years though. And on that note, I know of no rebuild kits/items for the AMK. The Hitachi mode is superior in that aspect, easily rebuildable.

 

Thanks-
I believe it is an AMK as when i look at the software installed through the GAP tool it states that the AMK software is the latest version. I have know idea what a "Desiccant" is! haha- I will look it up on the googles and shop manual.
I appreciate the feedback
