Air ride hose repair

[scooterboy]

Is there a repair kit out there for a chewed off air ride hose? Its the one from the compressor to the back of the car.

Thanks!

If there is enough slack in the line to trim out the bad piece just splice back together with a push-to-connect air line union. If not, get a piece of air line 1" shorter than needed and splice in with 2 P-T-C fittings.

If you can't find the fittings at FLAPS, go somewhere that sells parts/supplies for semi's. They are common as corn flakes in trucking industry.

They come in plastic body & metal body and the internal O-rings make an air tight seal on the line.

Good luck!

I ended up just ordering the new hose from Ford. Next thing is, is there a seal or what means is used to hold the hose at each end?

Thanks again!

how much did you pay for the new hose from ford if you dont mind me asking, i just took out my air suspension and converted to springs and i planned on taking the hose out. i could have just sold you the hose for like 5 bucks plus the ride to you.

3W7Z5A897AA Tube assy, $62.70. Runs all the way from compressor to a T near the air springs, but hidden between crossmember and body, then on to each spring. Found out today there is a repair kit from Ford.
