89-98 Suzuki Sidekick Air Lift 1000

November 25th, 2009

So we have all heard of the Air Lift 1000, for whatever vehicle, as they have them for almost everything. I just wanted to share another successful story. I installed one on my neighbors 92 Suzuki Sidekick. The kit added alot of towing ability to the vehicle, which is nice as my neighbor haul a small trailer occasionally. She said it handles alot better with the bags, and she likes how the rear bumper doesn’t sit so low now. The kit was less than $100, and the install took me about half an hour. And the best part is it came with a lifetime warranty, so I really had nothing to worry about. Well worth the time and money.

98 Buick Century EZ Strut Replacement

August 28th, 2009

I have a 1998 Buick Century, it is actually my third Century that I have had, I also owned a 1997 and a 2001. They are great cars, and very comfortable. After they have some miles run on them the suspension will begin to get soft and loose. At this point it is time for new struts and maybe new springs. There are a few different options you can go with when it comes to replacing struts with an air suspension conversion.

Cadillac Seville Cheap Fix If You Have A Broken Air Compressor

July 24th, 2009

What you will be doing is basically eliminating the air compressor. What you will need to do is locate  two valve stems. You can cut them off bicycle tubes if needed. You will simply cut the air lines near the air bags on each side. Then push the airlines into the valve stem, some epoxy or glue might help. Once you have done this allow it to dry, and then fill up your bags to the height you want. You can fill the bags with an air compressor or a manual air pump. This is a good fix, if you are in a jam and don’t have the extra $350 or $400 for a new air compressor. I would not consider this a permanent solution although some people will say it will hold for a long time. A good permanent solution would be a coil spring conversion kit, which costs about as much as a new air compressor, but it would out last a air compressor and many even come with lifetime warranty.

Lincoln Navigator Air Suspension Not Working

July 19th, 2009

If your 98 lincoln navigator air suspension is not working, it could be one a few problems. If one corner of your vehicle is not airing up, or is not airing up properly, it could be a sensor not functioning correctly. It could also be the seals on the airbags, if one of your bags will not air up. These seals just wear out overtime. Often these seal problems will start when the vehicle is exposed to cold weather, as the seals begin to contract. This is not a big issue as the seals are only around $20, but it is a hassle to replace them. Read on for more. Read more…
