Do I need to replace both rear air springs?

Can I install this at home?
Installation requires advanced mechanical skills and access to a diagnostic computer to cycle the suspension; professional installation is recommended.
Does this work with Adaptive Drive?
Yes, the A-2642 is fully compatible with vehicles featuring the Adaptive Drive system.
What is the mounting type for this air spring?
This unit uses both top and bottom yoke mounts for a secure attachment to the vehicle's suspension geometry.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle remains low after installation
Ensure the system has been properly cycled and calibrated using factory-level diagnostic software.
Air spring loses pressure over time
Check the air line connection at the top of the spring and verify the seal is seated correctly in the manifold.
Suspension compressor running constantly
Check for air leaks at the fitting or inspect the compressor relay for signs of failure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This part is compatible with specific BMW chassis codes including E70, F15, F85 (X5) and E71, E72, F16, F86 (X6). Installation requires lifting the vehicle on a hoist and properly depressurizing the air suspension system using diagnostic software before removal. Care should be taken to clean the seating surfaces of the mounting yokes to prevent debris from causing leaks. It is recommended to inspect the air line connection for signs of cracking or aging when swapping the air spring. If one rear air spring has failed, it is standard industry practice to replace both sides simultaneously to ensure even suspension performance and prevent premature wear on the remaining original unit.
