EHICLE PREPARATION
Remove the negative battery cable. With the vehicle on a
solid level surface chock the front wheels. Raise the rear
wheels of the vehicle using a lift or platform jack. Lower the
vehicle's frame on to jack stands rated for your vehicle's weight,
making sure the suspension is fully extended. DO NOT use
wood or concrete blocks to support the weight of the vehicle.
Remove the rear wheels from the vehicle.
On 1999 to current Honda Odysseys and Hyundai Entourage,
a 1/2" hole will have to be drilled in the lower control arm to where
the coil spring is centered to allow the air line to pass through.
Make sure that the hole is aligned with the location of the push-
to-connect air fitting on the installed air spring see Figure "A".
Remove any burrs from the hole to prevent damage to the air
spring. Make sure that the air spring is not installed when the
hole in the lower spring seat is drilled.

OIL SPRINGS
It will be necessary to remove the coil springs from the
vehicle in order to install the Coil-Rite kit. Remove the wheel
sensor wire from the lower control arm by unbolting it see Figure
"B". Do not disconnect the wheel sensor connector. Position
a floor jack underneath the point where the lower control arm
connects with the knuckle. Raise the jack until it makes contact
with the lower arm. Remove the flanged hex bolt and lock nut
securing the lower control arm to the knuckle see Figure "B".
Carefully lower the floor jack, allowing the lower control arm to
fall away from the knuckle. Remove the coil spring and upper
and lower spring seats. Hint: Using a crayon or grease pencil,
put a mark across the coil spring, lower spring seat, and lower
control arm as a means to align the spring seat and coil spring
with the lower control arm when reinstalled.

ARNING
:
Do not inflate this assembly when it is unrestricted.
The assembly must be restricted by a coil spring. Do not
inflate beyond recommended operating pressures for
your specific vehicle. Improper use or over inflation
may cause property damage or severe personal injury.
4138 / 4179
FOR BEST RIDE use only enough air pressure
in the air helper springs to level the vehicle when
viewed from the side (front to rear). This amount will
vary depending on the load, location of load, condition
of existing suspension and personal preference.
