Arnott air suspension problem

Good Morning.
I have a problem
After changing the pneumatic front balonas arnott makes noise when turning friction of rubber, it has been dismantled and mounted a few times and still the same.
Any of you happened to you?

I don't quite understand, do you mean noise from the bag itself when it inflates /deflates Or when turning the steering wheel?

It seems your tires are rubbing the inside wall. Did you reset the compressor after changing the air bag? It is possible that the car is not rising and the 20" wheels will definitely rub against the wall and the airbag itself. I wouldn't drive the car before checking this. If you continue driving you'll risk puncturing the airbag. If the compressor works then make sure no air is escaping from the airline that is attached to the top of the airbag, and finally check both front leveling sensors...one/both could be out of place or broken off. Good luck.

The compressor operates and does not lose air, keeps its correct height, the sensors are new, is not a problem in height. The noise makes the union of shock to the body

I would bet a dollar you have a dry ball joint, tie rod end etc. If you have a way, have someone turning the wheel rule you reach around the back and put your hand on each joint as it's moved. I'll bet you find it

The noise makes the two dampers is detected in the glue that bonds the damper to the chassis, the mechanic tells me he has to settle and disappear within a month, but this does not convince me.
