Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / February 2005Olds Bravada question???
Hi, I own a 2002 Olds Bravada SUV with SmartTrack. But my question is about the air-leveling suspension. I live in a very cold climate and I have to keep taking the car for maintenance (under warranty) as the car raises up and then won't level back down. So the rear of the car always looks like it is up in the air. Has anyone else experienced this problem? The last time I took it in they installed a new compressor as they said the air wasn't being let out of the shocks. It worked for about 3-4 weeks and now it's back up in the air again. Any opinions, comments, solutions (maybe sell the beast)? Thanks! A common problem with Hummers and their CTIS (tire inflation system) is that moisture, which is present in virtually all compressed air, will freeze in the lines and cause strange things to happen. It may be this is your problem. >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Thanks! Thanks Peter. I'll keep an eye on it and if it doesn't get back to normal I'll take it to the dealer. BTW, would there be one compressor or would there be one for each side? I notice the passenger rear side is lifted more than the driver rear side. Thanks. >A common problem with Hummers and their CTIS (tire inflation system) > is that moisture, which is present in virtually all compressed air, [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >> >>Thanks! One compressor, plumbing to allow front and rear to be managed seperately. There is no right/left adjustment however. Air pressure can be modified on the roll (I often will adjust my air pressure when on the highway.) If one side was lower than the other, then spring wear is the problem--a problem with Hummers as they often weigh 8000 lb (or more, mine weighs in at 8800) at the curb. A fully loaded Hummer can be over 10K... <g> Uh, thats a 'rea' Hummer, the H1, not the substitute one, the H2... >Thanks Peter.
