Polyairs and fitting

I've fitted a few.

The Prado group have a write up at

try motorcare in Brisbane (www.motorcare.com.au). Price about $250 (I think)

hi zapper, i installed the polys in my gu no problem. the bags for the patrols are the biggest they make and i found it pretty easy as long as you can lift the car up and remove your springs and disconnect the shocks and i mounted the valves inside the fuel cap area, had been said you can slide the bags thru the springs to install but i think the patrol bags are to big. cheers rob

Zapper,

I've fitted these to both GU and GQ. You do not have to remove the springs on either vehicle.

Drop the shocks and raise the vehicle as high as possible. Deflate the Polyair ie: squeeze all of the air out of them and then seal them up with a cap of some sort. From memory I used a grease nipple cap. Feed the bag trough the springs, remove the cap and feed the bag into position while it inflates. I attach the hose while the bag is inflating and use a push bike pump for final inflation to ensure they seat properly.

Save a lot of unnecessary hard work.

No-one has mentioned the rubber blocks that go at the top of the spring housing inside the spring. I couldn't get them through the spring. Had to drop the shock/swaybar of either side and wheel off to get the spring out of the housing.

Still, It took a total of about 2 hours to fit them in my driveway. GU Ute.

cheers

A cheap one trip solution i was once given, buy a bag of Good tennis balls, fill the spring with them, , instant chea poly air
