    NOTE: Inspect the ends of all air supply pipes for deep scoring and sharp edges before reinstalling the pipe to the fitting. Replace any pipe that exhibits any of the above conditions.
  1. Install air line to the appropriate fitting until the line bottoms.
  2. NOTE: If the control arm was allowed to hang unsupported, lower the vehicle far enough to allow the air spring to be manually engaged to the support on the control arm with minimal distortion of the air spring bladder. Ensure that the air spring is fully engaged to the control arm.
  3. Pressurize the air springs. Refer to Air Suspension Pressurization .
  4. Lower vehicle.
  5. Start the vehicle and run for approximately 2 minutes to verify that the air suspension system is functioning properly.
