The 6000 AWD Rear Air Struts Thread
#1
Well, since those of us who own these know those rear air struts become leaky when they get old and they are not really rebuildable or at least that's what they say, and since new ones 22064113, 22064114 are NLA from GM and I've had persistent searches in CL, Facebook Marketplace & fleabay, with nothing in years,  I was gonna try to find some similar ones and modify them.

I bought some 1991 LeSabre air struts. They appear to be the same extended and collapsed length and have the right fitting, and the upper mount is the same, the only thing missing is the lower mount with the toe tie-rod attachment wing on it. I'm gonna see if there's some way I can cut that off the old ones and weld it on to the new one, or make a bracket to get it bolted on. I dunno, welding on a sealed hydraulic cylinder is probably not a good idea. Small tacks may be possible. I'm not sure yet.

But I'll update when I get around to it!
