Suspension Airbag Bursts Suddenly? These Usage Habits are Shortening Its Lifespan

Suspension airbag bursts suddenly? These usage habits are shortening its lifespan

When your truck tilts abnormally on a bumpy road or fuel consumption suddenly increases, it may be that the suspension airbag has been hidden damaged - and most drivers do not realize the problem until the vehicle cannot drive.

• So how do we find that the airbag is damaged?
• In the early stage, the height of the vehicle body is inconsistent, and the vehicle body tilts to one side; abnormal noise occurs when passing over speed bumps, and the airbag support force is decreasing at this time. When the airbag is damaged to a serious stage, the vehicle tilts significantly or even cannot drive, and the airbag completely leaks, causing the axle load to lose balance and the tire to wear abnormally.
• Why are truck airbags easily ignored?
• This is because the airbag is located in a hidden position on the truck chassis and the vehicle needs to be lifted to be checked. Slow leakage is not obvious and will be mistaken for bumps by the driver.

We should check the following when repairing the car (never try to repair the air spring when the air spring is inflated)

1. Check the outer diameter of the air spring. Check for irregular cracks
2. Check the air pipe. Confirm that there is no contact between the air pipe and the outer diameter of the air spring.
3. When the air spring is at its maximum outer diameter, check whether the clearance around it is sufficient.
4. Check whether there is any foreign matter accumulated on the outer diameter of the piston
5. The correct suspension height should be maintained.
6. The height valve (height control valve) plays an important role in keeping the entire air spring system working as required. Clean, inspect or replace it if necessary.
7. Check whether the shock absorber is installed correctly, check for oil leakage, and whether the end connection parts are damaged.
8. Check the tightness of all mounting hardware (nuts, screws)
