Warning and Tips

What is an Air Suspension System?

An air suspension system is a style of vehicle suspension that’s powered by an electric pump or compressor that pumps air into flexible bellows that are typically made out of a textile-reinforced type of rubber. Additionally， air spring describes air suspension as a replacement to the leaf suspension or coil spring system with airbags composed of polyurethane and rubber. A compressor inflates the bags to a certain pressure in order to behave like springs. Air suspension also differs from hydropneumatic suspension because it uses pressurized air instead of pressurized liquid.

What’s the Purpose of an Air Suspension System?

In most cases, air suspension is used to achieve a smooth and constant driving quality, but in some instances, sports suspensions feature an air suspension system too. Similarly, air suspension replaces a conventional steel spring suspension in heavier vehicle applications, like trucks, tractor-trailers, passenger buses, and even passenger trains.

Conclusion

If you’re considering the purchase of an air bag suspension, you need to be aware of more than just the advantages. Even though you will be rewarded with great ride quality, you should weigh that against the disadvantages:

Air bag suspension cost

The main roadblock to using an air bag suspension is cost. It’s got to be the most expensive suspension system on the market. If you want air bag ride quality, you’re going to have to pay for it. It’s that simple. 

 2. Air bag suspension installation

Due to the complexity of an air bag suspension system, installation should be given to a qualified mechanic. Proper installation will ensure that safety objectives are met. Not only that, most kits require professional installation for the warranty to be honored by the manufacturer.

3. Air bag suspension leaks

Air suspension kits are exposed to harsh road conditions. Like other suspension products, wear and tear will play a factor in the duration of every air bag suspension. Therefore, proper maintenance is required.
