Wabco 8974301694 Sealing Tape

Description

This Sealing Tape is a critical component used within suspension air compressor systems, specifically within the suspension and steering components of vehicles. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 8974301694, this tape ensures an airtight seal, maintaining optimal air pressure for efficient suspension operation. It helps to prevent air leaks, contributing to a smoother ride and consistent vehicle height. This component meets OE specifications, guaranteeing a precise fit and reliable performance.

Key Features & Benefits

This tape is basically used to create an airtight seal between different parts of the air suspension compressor assembly – things like the air struts, the compressor itself, and the air lines. It’s not a super complicated part, it's a specialized, strong tape, usually a kind of PTFE or similar material. It comes on a roll, and you apply it where those components connect. Think of your air suspension system as needing to hold air pressure just like a tire. This tape acts like a shield, preventing air leaks where the compressor connects to the rest of the system. It’s a small piece, but crucial for keeping everything working smoothly. It’s part of what ensures your suspension maintains the correct ride height and delivers a comfortable ride.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this tape fails, you’ll notice if your suspension starts to sag, or if the compressor is working harder than it should to maintain pressure. A leak means the compressor has to run more often, wearing it out faster. It can also affect how your vehicle handles and rides, making it feel unstable or uncomfortable. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and doing it proactively can save you a lot of money and hassle down the road. We carry a good selection of this stuff at Fixparts Online, different widths and lengths depending on your vehicle. It’s something you generally want to replace when you're servicing the air suspension system – it’s a good preventative measure.
