Suspension: front: springs: air suspension system
- What is wrong
- With no air in both front axle air suspension air bags, the chassis suspension will lower to the suspension stop. When that occurs, the track bar bracket can contact the axle steering tie rod.
- Risk
- This contact will cause increased steering resistance and could cause loss of steering control.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the bracket track bar mount with a new design.
