Checking the Component Clearance, Freightliner AirLiner
Notice: Failure to relocate obstructing parts could result in damage to the air spring.
Check that the air line support brackets are positioned so that air lines do not rub against anything. Reposition any configurations that could contact and result in friction and wear. There must be at least 1 inch (25 mm) clearance around the rubber air spring when inflated. If the clearance is less than 1 inch (25 mm), relocate the obstructing parts.
