How to Check Air Bag Suspension Enhancement for Leaks
Updated 01/27/2026 | Published 08/16/2024
Question:
My air bags are leaking down and cant find a leak. Are the air connectors on top of bags supposed to be tight or should I be able to turn with my hands?

Hey Mark, I would try spraying the fittings and the lines (basically everything) with soapy water in a spray bottle and you'll see bubbles where the leak is. It's not abnormal for the lines to be movable but that would be the first place I would check with the soapy water.
