Suspension Compressor - Preventative Maintenance?
As per title of post, is there any value in an preventative maintenance to keep the compressor running sweet? Mine is fine at the moment, is there anything worth doing to keep it that way?
Thanks in advance. Stu

One thing that causes the compressor to work hard is if the air drier is partially blocked through the drier silicone balls turning to powder, no arm in taking it off and checking and using copper grease on the studs when you refit in readiness for when it needs replacing.
For a long life use the height control as little as possible, i.e.dont habitually lower the suspension for access
If you do decide to take it off, a very useful mod to the bracket is worth considering, it saves a lot of time and frustration when refitting. This allows the very awkward top bolt to put in loosely and the compressor to be slid into place while the bottom bolts are fitted.
It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Thanks for that M3DPO.
All duly noted, might as well get the balls up dated in the not too distant future.
