Hey folks,
One of my air struts has noisy valves that I can hear with the windows down, and it drives me nuts. The strut functions fine, but just makes a lot of loud "pfft" air noises over bumps....so I bought a replacement strut to swap in. (I'm aware this is normal, but this particular strut is much much louder than normal).
The swap process is easy, but on all my other air suspension cars I've had the software to depressurize the system before starting work.
Obviously I don't have Toolbox, so what's the safest method for depressurizing a single strut to remove it? Just slowly release the air line fitting and let it bleed out while supported by a jack and in jack mode?
