ARB solenoid leaking

Post by Eck »

Was cycling my ARB's to check before Moab and I'm getting a leak out of the top of that little nut/filter on top of the front solenoid. Tried to play with tightening it but it's not doing anything. Any idea what I can do to fix this or why it's doing this?

Think I got it figured out. Took the black part off and blew out everything with compressed air, put a dab of WD40 down the solenoid air hole and re-installed everything and it now holds air. I am guessing a little piece of dirt or something got in and was preventing it from sealing up properly.

That happens. Fortunately it's a rare occurrence.
