Hi everyone,
I recently picked up a one owner cobra. The owner said something about air shocks before I bought it and didn't think much of it...Well the car actually does have some sort of air shocks and for some reason it doesn't want to hold air. The pressure gauge reads 0 but they seem to lift up after putting more air in it, but then fall down a little I think. What could be the problem? thanks

What type of aftermarket air suspension (make/brand) does it have?

Had any luck contacting the manufacturer of the air suspension? Perhaps they have a "troubleshooting" section on their respective website...if not, check for leaking air along the lines (hoses?). The 'ol "soapy water" trick will reveal an air leak (look for bubbling) - pretty common tactic.

G'luck !

Here's a thought....


Get rid of the airshock junk and get some Bilsteins, Koni, KYB, or some other quality shock to replace them.

If you're worried about height adjustability then install some LCA's with adjustable perches.
