Air ride problems
Sunday, October 30, 2005 5:17 PM
Alright. Got my air ride installed all of the way. Now when i turn the wheel they make a horrible creaking and occasionally a fat pop. Ugh what's the matter?

I have the air ride technologies kit. It seems like the bag is turning with the wheel...

do the bags sit on the strut mount correctly? The strut mount has bearings in it.

Sounds like something you should check/fix before you take it to get an alignment.

Well that would be nice lol. Its like a block down the street. I have no clue whats going on, it's assembled like its supposed to. No difference between the right and left struts right?

So just so i'm clear, the bag is not supposed to turn with the strut? It's supposed to remain stationary? Because it seems like thats not how its designed... hmm i dunno whats the deal?

the bag is part of the strut. the struts turn when you move the wheel, hence the bag will turn as much as the strut does but it should be secured on the strut itself without moving. if that makes any sense

I took it off to see what i could see. The top bearing is definetly bad. So can i pick up a set of these from GM and just slap them on? How does the button on the top come off? (damper adjustment)
