Air Spring

The air spring comprises an aluminum restraining cylinder, top mount, spring aid, air sleeve, an inner support sleeve aluminum piston and a lower isolator. Elastomeric gaiters are fitted top and bottom. The upper gaiter is a self-supporting cover. The lower gaiter is of a convoluted design and fitted to the restraining cylinder by a metal clip and is attached to the Shock absorber by a plastic ring clipped to the Shock absorber.

The air sleeve is made from a flexible rubber material which allows the sleeve to roll up and down the air spring piston as the vehicle changes height. The air sleeve is attached to the air spring piston and top mount by crimp rings which provide an air tight seal, surrounded by the restraining cylinder. The air spring piston mounts to a spring isolator which contains an O-ring sealing the piston assembly to the Shock absorber body. The piston assembly is positively attached to the seat with retaining spigots. The top of the air sleeve is crimped to the top mount which attaches to the body with four integral studs and self-locking nuts.

A spring aid is fitted to the top mount concentric with the Shock absorber rod and prevents the top mount contacting the bump cap fitted to the top of the Shock absorber during full suspension compression. The lower end of the air spring is located over the Shock absorber body and seats on a fabricated seat on the Shock absorber body. The Shock absorber rod is located through a central hole in the top mount. The rod is threaded at its outer end. A nut secures the air spring to the Shock absorber rod.

The top mount is an integral part of the air spring and is fitted with a bush and a dynamic seal. The top mount is secured to the Shock absorber rod with a nut. The top mount attaches to a suspension tower on the body with four integral studs and self-locking nuts. The top mount also incorporates an air fitting which allows for the attachment of the air pipe.

NOTE: Air spring internal components are not serviceable.

Coil Spring

The coil springs and dampers have been selected to deliver comfort in both on and off road driving conditions.
