Then once set up and painted the staples in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This compressor is original, it was also mounted on Cadillac, ... the same year.This compressor works with the engine vacuum.It is connected to the trimmer at the back of the car, and when for example the car tows a caravan, the car is lower in the rear, and the trimmer actuates the compressor, and the compressor filled the rear shock absorber so that the car is level even if it is loaded or shoots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
