Progressive airlines

Hi folks,
I had progressive Air shocks installed this past fall. They hold air for only a couple of days. The air lines seem cheap and wanted to know if there is another alternative to replace the ones they came with ! Any suggestions??? |

have not had a problem in the two years mine have been installed,it is possible that you actually overtightened the connections at the distribution block and/or its leaking at a connection further up towards the compressor
airing the rear shocks up to about 50/60 pounds and spraying all connections with a soapy solution,actually windex works excellent too, may help you to find leak....keep us advised

mine have been on 5 years with no problems
The only stupid questions are the one's that are not asked.

I'm going to guess that you did overtighten the fittings and damaged the o-rings.

Actually the person who put them in was not me. I was wondering if there are better lines and connectors available. If the connectors are over tight then do I replace the o rings only. The connectors are very cheap plastic. I know this sounds dumb but I never had air shocks before. Also the air shocks are routed to my trunk because the compressor is disconnected from the P.O.

Try replacing the o-rings. I've had no problems at all with the plastic fittings on my Progressives but I only tightened the fittings finger tight.
