Shows how you extend the span on the lower fork strut, and fasten it on a Tesla X front air suspension. Similar for Tesla S AWD. Tips on how to uninstall the fork leg from the old air strut.
I find them quite good. They seem solid and I put the rear ones on my own Tesla S 2 years ago. They have now run 45' km, and have had no problems with them. You can ask this guy more specific about the air struts shown in the video. He has installed them on his car: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8pMQl1Y5sqE.htmlsi=Ww_Wtt1y_uvLC41Y Note that air struts for Tesla X front and S facelift front from 2016 onwards are more or less identical.
One of them still has a small leak, but it take days for the air to seep out. This is probably due to I didn't remove the rust well enough. In tiny areas, the corrosion often sits deeper than you realize. The surface must be completely smooth and fine around the sealing rings and at the metal cover surface at least. Note that there are differences in the air struts for preface Tesla S and S facelift/X. The build up of the latters are much the same, but not equal. Another thing is that neither the bellows nor the actual shock absorbers inside the air strut, are replaced with this type of fix. Rust around the valve fixing on the top can also be so serious, that rehabilitation is not worthwhile. So I would recommend to take a general assessment of the rust condition, and also take into account how many milages the air struts have run, before going ahead. Another tips: if you buy new aftermarket ones, be sure that the residual pressure valve is of OE quality. The cheap Asia copies often fail after 6-12 months use.
