How do air suspension works?
Shock absorbers and coil springs help absorb and direct road force, maintaining wheel oscillation, jounce and rebound. The air springs are simply tough rubber and plastic bags inflated to a certain pressure and height to mimic the coil springs.
Air Suspension systemAir suspension is a modern way of enhancing the driving experience by way of computerised air vents and compression in the suspension system. Introduced as an improvement on the traditional steel suspension of luxury cars, air suspension is a feature that allows drivers to adjust the quality of the drive according to the nature of the surface on which they are driving. It relies on air pressure inflating the bellows in the suspension system to ensure that the chassis is sufficiently raised above the axle to mask significant bumps in the road. Due to the advanced technology involved, air suspension systems are more technical to fix, so it is recommended that a mechanic is consulted if your system is showing signs of failure. One tell-tale sign is that the vehicle appears to lean to one side when you are driving.
Air suspension is a type of vehicle suspension powered by an electric or engine driven air pump or compressor. This compressor pumps the air into a flexible bellows, usually made from textile reinforced rubber. The air pressure inflates the bellows and raises the chassis from the axle.
Never drive a car with a broken air suspension or shock absorber at highway speeds and avoid sudden turns or stops in the long run a broken air suspension shock will need to be replaced.
Air Suspension Repair As mentioned previously, one option is to repair the system by replacing the damaged air Suspension units with new units. The benefits of this option are that it restores the vehicles air suspension to its original condition and functionality. Cost is considered one of the downfalls of replacing the air Suspension units with new parts. It is highly recommended that you replace the compressor and the dryer assembly while doing the job to ensure that the replacement air Suspension unit will last.
