Gwida pass pass:

  1. Ipprepara l-Vettura: Start by safely jacking the vehicle by the frame until the wheels are just off the ground. Ensure the vehicle is stable and secure before proceeding.
  2. Install PSP Pad: Place the provided PSP pad over the center bolts of the leaf spring assembly, ensuring the small nubs are facing up.
  3. Prepare SuperSprings: Remove the roller bolts and sleeves from both ends of the SuperSprings.
  4. Position SuperSprings: Place the SuperSprings onto the existing leaf spring assembly.
  5. Attach U-Bolt Mechanism: Loosely attach the U-bolt hold-down mechanism with the small plate and bolts.
  6. Adjust SuperSprings: Adjust the SuperSprings forward to achieve the desired position.
  7. Compress and Insert Bolts: Compress the SuperSprings enough to allow you to insert the roller bolt and sleeve into the end brackets. A SuperClamp (ITL-1) is available for purchase from supersprings.com to assist with this step. Repeat this step for both sides.
  8. Żgura t-Tneħħija: Before tightening any bolts, ensure you have as much clearance as possible between the perch and the spring eye.
  9. Issikka l-Boltijiet: Place bolts in the center holes as instructed. The top bolts come pre-tightened and should not be tightened further. Tighten the lower bolt until the inner sleeve is taut. Finish by tightening all remaining bolts securely.

5. Operazzjoni

SuperSprings SSA17 are designed to operate passively, working in conjunction with your vehicle's existing leaf spring suspension. They are self-adjusting, meaning they engage automatically as the load on your vehicle increases, providing additional support and stability when needed. When the load is reduced, the SuperSprings disengage, allowing your vehicle's original suspension to function normally, thus maintaining ride comfort.

The primary function is to enhance load-carrying capability, reduce body roll, and improve overall vehicle stability, especially when towing or hauling heavy loads. No manual adjustments are required during operation.

6. Manutenzjoni

The SuperSprings SSA17 are designed to be maintenance-free. No lubrication, adjustments, or regular servicing is required after proper installation. The high-grade steel and robust construction ensure long-term durability under various driving conditions.

7 Issolvi l-problemi

If you experience any issues after installing your SuperSprings SSA17, consider the following:

  • Installazzjoni mhux xierqa: Review the installation instructions and video carefully to ensure all steps were followed correctly, particularly regarding bolt tightening and clearance.
  • Twaħħil mhux korrett: Double-check that the SSA17 model is indeed compatible with your specific vehicle make, model, and year.
  • Ħsejjes mhux tas-soltu: Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Loose components can cause rattling or squeaking.
