Yes will do that too (soap bubble test) as the bags have done over 200K. What is a recommended airstrut replacement.? Ive been looking at Arnott from USA but will be exxy. What is the consensus on air struts?
Seems odd that both front bags sag at the same rate with the equalising solenoid disabled, but its not implausible for both front bags have similar leakage
Only decent results i have had are with Delphi ones.
Pay good $ for good parts not worth skimping on bits for these cars its not a bleedin camry...😅
You are right. The original delphis are still working after more than 200K and and 11 years with a daily run on our corried access road The Arnott replacements get a good writeup (on their own site) but was hoping for some independent review hereQuote:

Im away from home so dont have my verniers,so my rough measure of the air lines is 6mm OD Can someone confirm the OD of the lines so I can get the correct push fit parts
If the original bags lasted over 200k km, I'd consider them to be pretty damn good, and so worth going OEM again?
AFAIK Delphi was the OEM supplier. I think they were badged as Contitech, too.
Its not just the airbag. The shockabsorber has to be of high quality too.

I Got Delphi struts from Duckworths. Not worth stuffing about IMHO, given the price - quite reasonable I thought. Saved about $1000 on buying Dunlop struts locally.......
I have a rebuilt hitachi compressor which never fixed itself, I’m pretty sure because the piston seal isn’t snug enough to keep the pressure so I ended up buying the AMK one instead
The compressor works (as in runs) and the dryer, decidessant and pads are all brand new, plus the dryer cap has the new alloy top on it instead of the plastic one so lots of usable parts
free to a good home if you want to pick it up - northern beaches Sydney
