Front Strut Solenoid O Rings

[JackDonkey]

Hi folks, since changing my drivers side control arms became a 2 part affair I had to remove the solenoid on that front strut to let the air out twice. I think there is a slow leak on the drivers side now and since the struts are only a year old and the leak did not seem to start until after my repairs I think my solenoid o rings are the culprit.

So my question is what size are those o rings so that I can already have the replacements in hand before I take the solenoid off again? Also do you put any kind of grease or lube on them?

It would be nice to have a tool that would help you be able to take the air line out of the solenoid while it's still in the strut (i'm a wuss and have to take the solenoid out first and then the air line) and then get a harness from the junkyard to power up your strut to bleed the air out instead of removing the solenoid, just a little side note.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Front Strut Solenoid O Rings

Don't know the size. But a white or clear silicone grease should seal ok and not attack the o-ring itself.
