150 lbf/in²). Do not allow dirt or grease to enter the system. Always wear standard
protective hand, ear, and eye protection when servicing the air suspension system.

both ends by the vehicle frame and suspension system. An unrestricted or
unsupported air spring could cause serious injury and damage to the air
spring assembly. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE AIR SPRING!
