Looking for the DIY guide: "Front Air Struts and Air Compressor"

[BruinMan]

Hello,
Can someone send me a link to how to replace the front air struts/shocks for a 2004 X5 4.4i that has the optional air ride?

Also is there a link on how to replace the air compressor that is located in the rear cargo by the spare tire.

Thanks

I did the search and found the TIS for the front air springs. It looks like a fairly simple job. Thanks for taking the time to post the info!

Thanks for helping out.

I do wish there was a DIY with step by step pictures, part numbers and etc.


Here is the TIS and also a couple more to help with air suspension system.
