    Only one compressor unit available for my model of 97x. In all my years of dealing with RockAuto, never got a wrong part. Pro ably placed 75 orders.

    NEED HELP 2005 Saab 97x- How to reset new rear air suspension.

    Will try to print hardcopy today. My son said the air suspension section is 50+ pages. Good day to do it. Blizzard right now. I'm going to order fresh hi pressure tubing and connectors from Graingers or McMaster-Carr. I have the GM kits for the 97, Bravada and Escalade and the tubing is all...

    NEED HELP 2005 Saab 97x- How to reset new rear air suspension.

    Will do on AWD fuses. Any idea what the A. I. R. SOLENOID RELAYS are for? Probably going to buy and download a full service manual today if I find one I can trust.

    NEED HELP 2005 Saab 97x- How to reset new rear air suspension.

    Really don't want to pull the air ride system out and install coils with air inflatable shocks to level it just bc I'm towing a boat. Just want my nice comfy air ride and towing shocks.

    Tried tech2 yesterday. No options for the air suspension in the software. Latest version including all 97x, all years.

    NEED HELP 2005 Saab 97x- How to reset new rear air suspension.

    The led comes on steady and compressor kicks on. Screwed the inflator hose on the male Schrader valve but no air pressure and not enough to push the needle out at the opposite end. Looks like the valve for the inflator isn't even opening on the inflator. My mechanic literally gave up...

    NEED HELP 2005 Saab 97x- How to reset new rear air suspension.

    PS- This compressor is brand new OEM stock unit. Bought 2 weeks ago. The old compressor DID start with ignition to relevel the 9-7 but finally burned out trying to inflate a DRYROTTED passenger side airspring. I know all the logic controls are in the compressor. I took it to my local Saab...

    NEED HELP 2005 Saab 97x- How to reset new rear air suspension.

    There is only one fuse for the air suspension in the entire vehicle. It's a 30A mini fuse in position #1 in the main block under the hood. There are no other fuses or relays according to the manual. The compressor kicks on with the manual inflator switch in the trunk but at no other time...

    NEED HELP 2005 Saab 97x- How to reset new rear air suspension.

    Unfortunately, the Tech 2 scanner has no selections in its software for testing the air suspension system and there is only a single 30A fuse for the system in the fuse panel under the hood. I really don't want to tear the system out and put in coils. I'm towing a fishing boat now and hvy duty...

    NEED HELP 2005 Saab 97x- How to reset new rear air suspension.

    Compressor is a new OEM UNIT. I purchased it 2 weeks ago with the air springs. It's an exact match to the original compressor. The level sensors seem to be intact on each side but I have no clue how they tie into the system to actuate the compressor. Everything is hidden.

    Which front struts to use? Bistein 4600's or 5100's?

    That depends on what you're doing with the vehicle. When I wasn't planning on towing with my Saab 97x, I replaced the existing shocks with Bilstein 4600s. Those are their TOURING shocks for the Daily Driver. The 5800 series is meant if you plan on towing with your SUV or truck. Now that I...

    NEED HELP air suspension acting weird

    Brake job. Part of your problem could be sticky or unresponsive calipers. If the calipers are original to the vehicle, brand new name brand calipers can be purchased for as little as $30 each from Rock Auto online and save you the hassle of dealing with old cruddy ones or the pain of rebuilding...

    NEED HELP air suspension acting weird

    Also, if it's wandering or pulling to one side while braking, you might have uneven rotor or pad wear and it's time for a break job.

    Start looking at your lower ball joints and tie rod ends if it's wandering.
