How hard is it to replace air compressor?
I am suspecting my issue with airmatic is in the compressor. How hard is this to replace and where is this located?

Located on the front passenger inner fender right behind the bumper.

Looks very simple to replace

It was time for the compressor to be replaced. I thought I had shock problem, but it didn't. I will be getting new seals for the front shocks though. preventative measure....

Yes, he did run diagnostics and no codes, other then the air compressor.

How did you know it was the compressor, and not the shock? Tks.

if the car is slammed to the ground on all 4 wheels does that usually mean a bad compressor?
