When do I Need to Replace my Air Cleaner Housing?

 The air cleaner housing assembly is not a part that requires regular maintenance or replacement. However, since it is made of plastic, it can crack from pressure or extreme environmental conditions.  Many air boxes are also broken when changing the filter; sometimes the person performing the maintenance does not know where all the bolts are or exactly how the box comes apart so they try to "force" it and the box breaks. Improper installation may also lead to broken closure clips or stripped screw holes, as well as to over-tightened mounting bolts that can cause the area around them to break. Lastly, due to its location in the engine bay, they are often broken when the vehicle is in an accident.

 Breaks and cracks in the air box can disrupt the air flow which can lead to rough running and poor fuel economy. A broken air box can also allow unwanted dirt and contaminants to enter into your vehicle’s engine. This can foul your mass air flow sensor which is an expensive repair and / or prematurely wear out your engine which is an even more costly repair. Therefore, if your vehicle’s air cleaner housing assembly needs to be replaced, it is imperative that you do so as soon as possible.
