Q: How long does air suspension usually last?
A: The first thing to pay attention to in daily driving is:

especially when facing complicated road conditions, such as gravel and muddy roads, please reduce the speed of the car so as to avoid gravel splashing and damaging the air springs, and also decelerate and slow down on potholed roads in order to avoid damaging the precision parts of the air suspension by violent bumps;

at the same time, when facing bad travel conditions such as wind, frost, rain and snow, the air suspension is also easily damaged because the airbag and piston of the air suspension, although resistant to acid and alkali, are not resistant to friction by foreign objects and sand particles.

The airbag and piston of the air suspension, although acid and alkali resistant, are not resistant to the friction of foreign particles, and along with the temperature change, the entry of foreign particles will lead to accelerated wear and tear of the airbag, which will cause damage to the air suspension in advance.

Change bad driving habits and avoid driving in poor driving conditions as much as possible

Q: Does air suspension require regular maintenance? How long are the maintenance intervals? What parts need to be inspected?

A: Although air suspension replaces springs with air packs, the internal shock absorber structure is the same as that of traditional shock absorbers, so it also requires normal inspection and regular maintenance.

Meanwhile, due to the complexity of the overall air suspension system, it is recommended to check whether there are faults and hidden dangers in the pump, distribution valve and piping interface every half a year, if there are no hidden dangers but fault codes, you should use the special computer to comprehensively investigate, and also check whether there is deformation, cracking, wear and other abnormal conditions of the air bag, if there is any abnormality, it is recommended that you contact a professional shop to carry out repairs or replacements in order to protect the safety of vehicle travelling. Safety.

Regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety of the vehicle on the road

Q: Can I continue driving after the air suspension is damaged?
A: After the air suspension is damaged, it is recommended that the vehicle owner contact roadside assistance or the nearest garage to tow the vehicle, and do not continue to drive, otherwise it is very likely to lead to tyre deflection, uneven force on the wheels, suspension imbalance, and cause damage to other parts.

Do not continue to drive if the air suspension is damaged, contact roadside assistance or the nearest garage.

Q: Can air suspension be repaired after damage to such a precise product?

A: In case of damage, it is recommended that the vehicle owner directly replace the new product, but there are some models that can replace the air bag or shock absorber separately.

If you need to replace the air suspension, BILSTEIN recommends that you do it in pairs, because if you replace the air suspension on one side, due to the difference in the aging degree of the air suspension, it is easy to lead to different inflation heights of the shock absorbers on both sides, which will lead to tyre bias grinding and other conditions, and other parts will also be easily damaged as a result.

This depends on the specific model and the degree of damage, due to the complexity of the air suspension construction, once the internal damage to the shock absorber is basically beyond repair!
