2009 XL Air Springs

[Bearmtnmartin]

I bought 8 new Connect brand air springs because they were less expensive, but not made in China. A few days ago I had to remove one and discovered that the bottom stud wanted to wind out instead of the nut coming off. It was frustrating because the stud bottomed out against the suspension and was jammed. I got it turned back in enough to find there is a hex in the bottom of the stud so I could get a key on it and stop it from spinning. I wish now I had tightened all the studs and loctited them during installation. Just something to consider as it was a pain to deal with.
