Air Line: Description: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 RAM 1500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:

All pressurized air suspension components contain high pressure air (up to 220 psig). Use extreme caution when inspecting for leaks. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing when inspecting or servicing the air suspension system. A sudden release of air under this amount of pressure can cause possible serious or fatal injury.

WARNING:

Support the vehicle by supplemental means before performing any work on the air suspension system to prevent the vehicle from changing height. Before any given component is to be serviced it must be deflated. Servicing the air suspension system without supplemental support, or with pressure in the specific component, can cause possible serious or fatal injury.

Pressurized air is transferred though air lines between the air suspension compressor assembly (6), air suspension reservoirs (1), compressor assembly valve block, front air suspension spring and shock assemblies (3), and the rear air springs (5). The air lines are made of nylon 12. The air lines are a one piece assembly that are attached to the vehicle frame and route from the compressor valve block (6) and connect to the air springs (3, 5). The air lines will have a dedicated harness and will be clipped to or run along the vehicle frame.
