Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do I need to install the level sensor relocation link if using Eurowise tubular control arms?
A: No, the installation of the level sensor relocation link is only required for vehicles using OEM upper control arms.

Touareg / Cayenne air suspension 2″ lift install

Front struts are installed this way on the front on the lower strut arms. You must loosen the control arms and use a pry bar to get the bolt in. A second person us useful to help.
Do not install the bolts from the outside in. Make sure you insert the bolt from the inside of the strut body facing outwards. Failure to do so will result in contact with the axle shaft.

NOTE : We recommend to alway drive on and Offroad in “automode”. Driving on “Offroad” mode can cause longterm damage to the axle joints due to the extreme angles in “OFFROAD” setting. Contact us for our subframe drop kit to correct axle geometry to utilize “OFFROAD” mode reliably.

TIPS DURING INSTALLATION

• Removing outer axle nut helps relieve tension on axle when removing struts. If you pull down too far you could pop the inner joint out.
• Loosen the subframe bolts in front ( 4 bolts ) as far down as possible to allow the subframe to rest.
• Doing this will allow to take tension off the axle and make removal and installation of the axle easier.
• We are not responsible for improper installation of this lift kit. Please have a professional install this kit. Email us if you have any questions or concerns.

Install supplied level sensor relocation link as shown above. It replaces the front upper control arm level sensor bracket. It will reposition the arm back so there is no binding with the new shorter arm. It will also reinforce the OEM plastic arm as they are prone to breaking due to being plastic.
To remove the OEM plastic mount use a small phillips head screw drive and push the plastic locking pin in the center of the bracket. then the plastic bracket will come off. Install the new aluminum bracket shown above with M6 bolt supplied.
This only applies to vehicles using OEM upper control arms. If you are using eurowise tubular control arms then this is not needed. Once everything is installed this is how it will look.
This is the lower strut looking at it from the back of the car. The bolts can be installed either way on the backside only. This is the lower strut looking at it from the front of the car back. The bolts can ONLY be installed from the inside of the strut pointing out. On the subframe there are two aluminum tabs that will contact the lower airstrut magnetic sensor. These tabs need to be broken or cut off. they are aluminum so a saw will cut thru them easily. Or you can use a cut off wheel and cut the surface and then use a hammer to knock it off the rest of the way. On the rear the spacers are installed between the upper strut mount cradle. The cradle holds both rear Air struts. Theres 4 bolts holding the assembly in place. You drop the cradle and install the spacers and install between and install the new longer bolts provided.

IMPORTANT NOTES
One thing a lot of people miss when raising their rig are suspension pivots. So often they leave the suspension bound up because they are not understanding the range of movement in the bushings. I’ve seen several posts recently for example with the new Forge lift kit where people can’t get the rear struts back in. You need to loosen every pivot BEFORE you reinstall. I leave these pivots loose, reinstall the strut w spacer, set the car back on the ground then tighten them before lifting the truck again to properly torque them. By doing this the bushing will move closer to the middle of its range of movement and not bind.

On the air suspension level sensors. You install the Short bracket we include in the fronts.
Long brackets go on the rear, Just use a flat head screw driver and pop the old brackets off. Or some needle nose pliers. makes sure not to bend the plastic arm on the OEM sensor or it will break!
Pop the new level arms by hand. they just snap right in.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. Noise in rear end of vehicle. (Knocking, clunking over bumps)
   In some cases when the shock mounts are very worn and loose it can cause the upper shock mount on the airbags to contact the subframe after lowing for the lift kit. You can inspect this area below for contact points. To resolve you can drop the airbag and shave some of the upper mount to clear the subframe. You can see below the place of contact after time.

2. Height is not level front to rear.
   You can dial in the height higher and lower to desired height by lengthening or shortening the level sensor links.

   • LENGTHEN = Lowers vehicle
   • SHORTEN = raises vehicle
