Hello Greg,

I am very sorry that you are already having issues with your Firestone fittings. Good news is that the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F4155 comes with a 2-Year limited warranty on the hardware. Firestone prefers to handle all of their own warranties so you will need to reach out to them directly to file a claim.

Firestone: 1-800-888-0650 Option 1, then Option 1 for Warranty or [email protected]

What are you hauling around that you need the extra support?

Trailer and gear rack.....however the car does squT much but the approach to our drive way causes scraping under more that about an inch of squat....so need all the clearance I can get to make drivewY Checked all fittings with soap and water mix after bringing up to pressure. Found bubbles at the bag fitting. I tried cutting the hose several times with a tube cutter to ensure it remained round and reattaching..no luck....so the fitting is leaking. Waiting on a new bag from firestone. Should recieve that soon. Going to replace the entire tube to bag and give a little more slack for movement. Tubbing arrived today.

@GregB Can definitely see why you would want them in working order. I can hear that scraping noise now, and it makes me cringe. Well that, and when you buy something you expect it to work as it should. I am happy to hear that or friends over at Firestone are getting you taken care of, but definitely sorry you have to deal with this headache.
