• Q: How to replace the Air Suspension Compressor on 2008 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Before replacing the Air Suspension Compressor start by elevating and supporting the vehicle. First disconnect the exhaust system from its rear hangers before removing automatic level control compressor bracket bolts to proceed with lowering the whole assembly. Start by detaching the air tube at the alc compressor clamp through tube twisting and then disconnect the alc electrical harness connector. Disconnect the side mounting nut from the alc compressor bracket before extracting the compressor assembly with bracket from the vehicle. Start by detaching the electrical harness connector from the alc bracket after taking out the alc compressor top bracket mounting screw. Then remove the alc bracket to alc compressor screws and detach the bleed hose from the clip until the alc bracket separates from the alc compressor. Place the alc bracket onto the alc compressor then install alc bracket to alc compressor screws with a torque setting at 9 n.m (80 lb in). After connecting the bleed hose to its clip you should place the electrical connection to the alc compressor bracket and attach the air tube to the alc compressor. After reconnecting the alc electrical harness connector, install the side mounting nut on the alc bracket and torque the alc bracket mounting bolts to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Finish by reinstalling the exhaust system at its proper place on the rear exhaust hangers and then drop the vehicle back to ground level.
