Air ride broke down (Pics)
 
After getting off the highway and pulling into a parking lot, i heard a snap in the rear back, i tried pressin the buttons and i hear air leaking out and i got out to check, the strut was completely broken. the was was stayin up by the tire.

I just got the air ride kit a month ago. i ordered a replacement strut. Im waiting for Air Lift company to inspect it, pending Warranty replacement.

I flatbed towed it from mississauga to scarborough, $90. which aint bad at all.

It was hardddd putting it up on the flat bed cuz the back bumper was about a finger gap from the ground. We had to use lots of wooden pieces, and when we took the car off the tow truck we had to use car impound lot trollies they use on stolen recovered cars to move the back of the car.

Pics below

Man...that sux. Downside to having air ride tho.
Looks pritty low in the back while getting it on the truck...you scrape the kit?

RHCP0801 04-26-2006 06:16 AM

damn that sucks man, good luck

LowLife 04-26-2006 06:18 AM

huh... surprising that it broke so quickly.

Nick 04-26-2006 07:32 AM

that sucks. I hope that u get it replaced under warranty.

on a side note. If u tinted your tail lights it would be sick

kumanan 04-26-2006 10:04 AM

yea im gonna put oem 04-05 tails i tinhk. Yeah the back scraped but no visible damage its underneath the bumper where it scraped. Lets hope air lift company warranties it... it shoudl be warrantied its not like i did something to cause it to break down, its manufacturer problem

RHCP0801 04-26-2006 10:11 AM

yea put the stock 04-05 tails on and paint the back mesh black that would be sick

kumanan 04-26-2006 12:32 PM

is it hard putting 04-05 oem tails on an 03? what mods need to be done

familycar 04-26-2006 12:36 PM

none they shoudl go right in

Zeppelin8778 04-30-2006 07:28 PM

not true... they fit right, but theres a wiring issue... the bulbs are different sizes and theres 3 bulbs for an 04 tail and 4 bulbs for an 01 tail... the 04-05 tails dont have the side triangle thing that lights up. theres a DIY or something for it, just search. u can get the wiring right pretty easily.

God is repaying you for putting those tail lights on.
