idosubaru Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 what kind of car? are you saying that you don't know if you have air struts or not? have a look at them. you'll either see coil overs or a big black air bag. check the fronts and rears as it is possible to not convert them all. the air tank and compressor is under the front drivers side fender for most (if not all) air suspension subaru's. i'm not sure what you have so i'm hesitant to say "all" just in case i'm forgetting something....

joostvdw Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 the humming noise could very well be your fuel pump, it's located between the rear wheels, it only should humm once when the ignition is on, unless the green test connectors are connected as for the air struts, it could be that someone converted the car to regular shocks and unplugged all air suspension hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Either someone added that dash as a replacement, or, the car used to have air shocks and they have been removed. It is surprising that they would remove the swtich and replace it with another panel. Can you feel if there is a computer under the drivers seat? That's where the factory unit would be. Look for that pump too behind the drivers side inner fender panel. I think the humming in the back must be the fuel pump as the air pump for the suspension would be up front.
