Checking the Components
Inspect the forward spring brackets for wear, cracks, and other damage. If any of these conditions exist, replace the damaged bracket(s); see of the Cascadia™ Workshop Manual.
Inspect the spring bushings for wear or other damage. If any of these conditions exist, replace the damaged bushings.
Warning: Replace worn, cracked, or damaged spring brackets. Failure to do so could result in bracket breakage, possibly leading to loss of vehicle control and resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Inspect the crossmember(s) and gussets for wear, cracks, and other damage. If any of these conditions exist, replace the damaged parts; see of the Cascadia™ Workshop Manual.
Visually check the air spring piston for cracks, chips, and broken areas. Check the air bag for rips, tears, and holes. Verify that the air spring assembly does not leak. If any of these conditions exist, replace the damaged parts; see of the Cascadia™ Workshop Manual.
