Air Spring reseal kit (LR016412)

[John Higgins]

I recently replaced my front struts and reused the air springs as they were in good shape. The reseal kit came with 2 large o-rings that fit around the outside of the collar that mates the strut to the bag.
That collar has 2 more inner o-rings that I had to re-use.

Anyway - looks like I've introduced a leak into the system and I suspect it's the 2 large inner o-rings. I'm about to pull the struts and redo them but unsure where to source the extra o-rings from.

Just curious if anyone else has done this and had any luck?

What I've done in the past to great success is soak used o-rings in AT-205. I recommend doing it for at least several hours. It restored their flexibility and you can re-use them as long as they're not torn.

To loop back on this, the o-rings were fine. I had a leaky bag (or I introduced a leak when I rebuilt).
Got a junkyard bag to fit my new strut and now all is good again.

I'm curious about your initial front strut problem. How many miles was it and what was happening?
