Air suspension emergencies suck—like getting a leak on the highway or a pump glitch in the middle of a car meet. But if you keep these 5 simple things in your trunk, you can fix small issues fast (or at least get to a shop safely). No fancy tools required!
1. Spare O-Rings
Leaks usually happen from worn-out O-rings. Throw a pack of Maxload’s original O-rings in your car—they’re tiny, lightweight, and fit most air springs. Swap one in 5 minutes, and you’re back on the road.
2. Portable Tire Inflator
If your air pump dies suddenly, a portable inflator (battery-powered or plug-in) can add air to your springs temporarily. It won’t replace a real air management system, but it’ll lift your car enough to avoid scraping and get you to a repair shop.
3. Microfiber Cloth + Windex
To find leaks: Spray Windex on air lines and springs, then watch for bubbles. The microfiber cloth wipes away excess soapy water so you don’t mess up your car’s paint. Super easy, no pro skills needed.
4. Small Adjustable Wrench
Loose fittings are another common issue. A tiny adjustable wrench (the size of your palm) lets you tighten loose bolts or fittings quickly. No need for a whole toolbox—this one fits in your glove compartment.
5. Maxload’s Emergency Contact Card
Stash a card with Maxload’s customer service number (WhatsApp: +86 189 9115 9130) and your air suspension model. If you’re stuck, we can walk you through quick fixes over the message—way faster than googling!
Pro tip: Keep all these in a small zip-up bag (like a pencil case) so they don’t roll around your trunk. Emergencies happen, but being prepared makes them way less stressful.
P.S. Don’t forget our January sale: Buy a single-pump air management system, get a free pump (standalone pumps not included)! Stock up on spares while you can.
