The Unofficial Aftermarket Air Suspension Thread

[Demented_Y]

Getns, I am having some significant rattling coming from the rear suspension. It started after about 1k miles after the suspension install. For sure coming from the rear wheel well area. These rubber bushing were not installed and I noticed on a video that someone stated that they should in order to prevent noise. What do you guys think?

The top rubber/plastic insulators don't fit on the UAS bags. They do on the Air Demands. I had noise in the rear at one point and it ended up being the locking collars on the shocks!! Tighten those really good!!

Glad I found this thread! I’ll be new to “life on air” after my install May 9th!

I did have one question for those that have been on air for a while.

Are there any other upgrades that are recommended from experience? I’ve heard toe/rear camber (to reduce tire wear, alignment, ride, etc.) and End Links (tend break) upgrades are recommended as well. Being that my Model 3 RWD is a 2022, I’m going to ride out the stock cambers and end links but open to any feedback and/or other upgrades I should consider. Doing it right the first time is definitely my take on this decision!!!

Welcome!! Just the rear camber arms. You should have enough factory toe adjustment. I have the front MPP A-arms and with even an extra shim it's not enough to get any positive camber back,

Have your stock ‘End Links’ been an issue or are these usually changed out with a sway bar install as well? Appreciate your feedback! I’m definitely getting rear cambers with my air suspension.

Endlinks have been fine! Been on air for a year now. Hopefully others will chime in on theirs.

Finally got the look I’ve been wanting for awhile now.

Has anyone had experience with flyyair struts? How are they compared to UAS and airlift

Universal air now includes the top shock mount you don't have to swap the old one. Yeah I double checked the collar and the bolts and tightened before I assemble it.

Has anyone put their tank, compressor(s), and management in the trunk area instead of up front in the frunk? I am considering doing this with my Y setup. Anyone?

I was gonna install my friend's system in the trunk, on his Model Y, but his Accuair VT 5 gallon tank was too big to fit in the lower compartment. A 3gallon would of fit perfectly. There is a company Sadistic Iron Works they specialize in high end air suspension installs they had a Mock up on a Model Y.

Is there anywhere that has prefab airlift 3H brackets for the sensors?

You can try to contact Universal Air Suspension. The brackets were prefabricated already. I installed Accuair. But those brackets should fit the Airlift 3H sensors just fine.

That is great! Do you have more pics of your build that I can take a look at? Also how did you run the air hoses through the trunk? Thanks!

That looks great!! Do you have any pics of how you ran the airlines? Did you get power from the battery penthouse beneath the back seats?
