Suspension Features
Pressures
Once the oil pressure is released the floating piston rises to the top of the bottom accumulator. It is now ready for recharging. The fronts have to be recharged to 1750 kpa (254psi) and the rears to 1500 kpa (218psi) - common pressures for a car. Source: http://planetsoarer.com/nitrogen/nitrogen.htm
However: the gas pressure will increase considerably when the suspension strut is compressed. Thus, the valve wil need to rated for pressures well above these.
Height Settings
The UZZ32 suspension offers two height settings , Normal and High.
Normal
High
Test Mode
Other uses for test mode
The suspension test mode can be used as a quick way to raise the vehicle and provide access for eg, oil change, ATF fluid change
Rebuild options
New valves in existing fill ports
M5x0.8 screw. Allen key head. Re-gas with needle.
