Air suspension clicking/tapping sounds when adjusting

[chris_ace_14]

I’ve got about 12k miles on my truck and I’ve noticed that my air suspension has been making more clicking/tapping sounds more and more frequent. It does it every time I drive. Usually when it’s seems to “auto-level” or adjust while driving. I can make the sound stop temporarily by forcing the suspension to change to a different height. But right after the clicking sounds begin again.

Anyone know what this problem is ?

In MHO it isn’t a problem. It’s a feature. Meaning things are probably working correctly.

I definitely don’t have that sound at all . Not sure if that’s sounds normal .

I do have a rattle left front interior area though …

It’s much louder in person. The video doesn’t do justice. I have to play music to drown out the noise.

I would definitely get it looked at for sure

Do you drop it to entry mode every time you park? If so you'll hear compressor noise for a few minutes every time you drive as it refills the air cannister. I leave mine in medium height, no noises.

If you're also staying in a fixed ride height and hearing noises you might have a leak in one (or more) of the airbags so I'd recommend taking it in for service.

I don’t use entry mode when I park. I’m always in medium too.

It's the "compressor rattling against bracket." I reproduced it to a tech today in a ride along, he fixed it in 10 minutes by inserting insulations "removed and insulated bracket". He said one has to be able to reproduce it in order for them to fix it even though he knew what the issue was when I showed him the video recording the sound..
Luckily they squeezed me in.

Thanks for letting me know.
