When is the right time to change your air suspension system?

Almost every modern vehicle, particularly SUVs and luxury cars, utilizes an air suspension system. These systems, also known as air springs, function similarly to traditional springs and shocks, but instead of metal coils and hydraulic fluid, they use compressed air within rubber airbags. A compressor inflates the airbags to raise the vehicle and firm the suspension, while deflating them lowers the vehicle and softens the ride. The durable rubber-coated metal construction of air springs provides both flexibility and strength.

However, even with their robust design, the constant stress of inflation and deflation can eventually wear down your air suspension system. Several signs indicate it's time for a change or repair. If you notice any of the following, consider inspecting your air suspension system.

Signs You Need to Change Your Air Suspension System:

Air Spring Leakage: A common issue in aging systems where rubber airbags deteriorate, developing tears and holes. You'll notice a bumpy ride, a constantly running compressor, and uneven vehicle height, especially in the corner with the failing spring.

Sagging: Worn-out air springs can't support the vehicle properly, causing it to sag, especially if one or more airbags are faulty. Sagging negatively impacts comfort, handling, and can even affect steering and cruise control.

Damaged Compressor: The compressor is vital for maintaining airbag inflation. Overwork, exceeding operational limits, or moisture can damage it. Signs of a failing compressor include a lower than normal ride height and unusual noises (whining, grinding, or clinking).

Excessive System Moisture: Compressed air contains moisture, which can accumulate and cause damage. The air dryer, a component designed to remove this moisture, can malfunction. Excessive moisture leads to rust and corrosion, affecting the entire system, including leveling ability and compressor performance. Look for physical signs of rust and check for a lower ride height or sagging when parked.
