Air Suspension systems can offer great benefits for drivers. They can improve ride quality. Air Suspension laity like increased ride height for off road excursions all while keeping the rear level under loaded conditions. But, as with other hard-working components, Air Suspension shocks and struts will eventually fail succumbing to either damage to or dry rot of the air spring.

2. Air Suspension
 Air Suspension systems can offer great benefits for
drivers. They can improve ride quality. When an Air
Suspension system fails, there can be up to four
different options to return the vehicle to operating
condition. Some involve repairing the existing Air
Suspension system, while others involve replacing the
system with springs and passive shocks and struts. All
options have their pros and cons. But no matter which
option is being considered.

3. Air Suspension Repair
 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.

4. Air Suspension System
 Air suspension is a modern way of enhancing the
driving experience by way of computerised air vents
and compression in the suspension system. 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.

5. 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.

6. Air Suspension Repair
 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.

7. What does Air Suspension do?
 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.

8. Can I drive with bad Suspension?
 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.

9. How do you know When Air
Suspension is Bad?
 Symptoms of bad shocks or struts include air
suspension: Badly cupped tyre and or noticeable tyre
shaking, wheel shimmy or vibration after hitting a
bump. Suspension bottoming on rough roads or when
backing out of a driveway.
