What is an air suspension struts?
As a starting point, it is important to discuss what is air
suspension and how does it differ from traditional suspension
systems? The main difference between a traditional shock or strut
is that they have a dampening mechanism set to a certain ride
control feel while an air suspension system uses an air compressor
in combination with air struts and suspension air bags to control
the feel of the ride.
Air suspension has several advantages over traditional shocks and
struts. The first is that the ride quality is often controlled by
the driver of the vehicle. Therefore, if you want a softer ride you
can set your air suspension system to deliver that and vice versa
if you are looking for a stiffer, rougher ride. The second
advantage is that you can control ride height, some systems are
advanced in that they automatically control this for you. The final
advantage of an air suspension system is weight management. If you
load the back of your SUV with a large amount of groceries from the
store, the air suspension system either automatically adjusts to
handle it or you can manually adjust it. For traditional shocks and
struts the level of rebound is set and therefore no matter what the
weight of your load is, you have to stick with it. This often
creates a sagging rear end when carrying a heavy load.
While an air suspension system is more complex, the advantages are
clear. The system is comprised of a central air suspension
compressor as well as air struts within an air bag at each wheel.
The air compressor pressurised the air struts as needed to control
the feel. Other components can be seen in the diagram above, all of
which are mainly air lines to transfer pressure and driers (filter)
to complete the system.
Air Suspension Strut Buyer's Guide
An air suspension strut is a strut with an air spring incorporated
into it. The air spring or airbag is inflated or deflated to adjust
the height of the vehicle.
A faulty strut may cause your vehicle to roll when you press your
brakes, squat when you accelerate, or lean to one side while you’re
driving.
Driving with a bad air suspension system will not only make your
ride uncomfortable but also put you and your passengers’ safety at
risk.
An air suspension strut replacement usually costs around $250 to
$1000, depending on the brand you choose.
Air suspension struts are essential components of an air suspension
system. They work with an air suspension compressor and several
other parts to provide smooth ride quality and make sure you’re in
full control of your vehicle. If your air suspension struts start
showing signs of failure, you must replace them immediately.
What is an Air Suspension Strut?
An air suspension strut or air strut is a strut with an air spring
or airbag incorporated into it. To fully understand the role of an
air strut, let’s discuss how air suspensions work.
In an air suspension system, air springs typically replace the coil
springs or leaf springs found on traditional systems. A sensor
monitors the air springs on each side of your vehicle.
Data regarding internal air pressure and ride height are sent to
your vehicle’s powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM adjusts the
air pressure and riding height accordingly using an onboard
compressor, air dryer, and air reservoir. The air springs or
airbags in your air suspension strut inflate and deflate to adjust
the height of your vehicle.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Air Suspension Systems
An air suspension system can adjust your car’s height in seconds.
This lets you achieve a smoother ride, ideal ground clearance, and
even out any heavy payload.
Most off-road vehicles use air suspensions. This is because, aside
from improving ground clearance, air suspensions can also improve
approach, breakover, and departure angle. Efficient height
adjustments also help prevent damages caused by trail hazards.
However, cars with air suspensions also come with disadvantages.
Since air suspension systems are more complex than traditional
systems, they are more expensive. They are also more prone to
failure because they involve a lot of technology. Fortunately,
regular maintenance can prevent most of the issues that may affect
air suspension systems.
What Happens When an Air Suspension Strut Failsa
A worn-out strut can result in a lot of driveability issues. It may
cause your vehicle to roll when you press your brakes. or squat
once you start accelerating. When making turns, a worn-out strut
may also cause your vehicle to lean to one side.
Faulty struts also can’t absorb the impact when your car bounces
due to bumps on the road. Aside from that, the front-end struts are
crucial for steering and alignment.
It isn’t safe to drive with bad struts. Driving with a bad air
suspension system will not only make the ride uncomfortable but
also put you and your passengers’ safety at risk.
Other Air Suspension Problems
Faulty struts can cause a multitude of problems, and it is best to
have faulty ones replaced right away. However, the struts aren’t
the only crucial component in an air suspension that can get faulty
over time.
Here are other common issues you may encounter with a faulty air
suspension:
Leaking Air Springs
This is one of the most common problems you may encounter with an
air suspension system. Air suspensions are equipped with airbags
that deflate and inflate to adjust your car’s height. The rubber
components of these bags can deteriorate over time and cause holes
and tears.
It is easy to notice symptoms related to this problem. For
instance, a damaged air spring won’t be able to absorb shock
efficiently, so expect a bumpier ride. As a result of air leaks,
you may also notice that the air compressor is constantly running.
This is because the compressor is supposed to keep the airbags or
springs properly inflated.
Malfunctioning Air Compressor
Aside from air leak issues, it isn’t uncommon to encounter problems
related to faulty compressors. Just like any other vehicle
component, compressors can get worn out over time—especially if
they work double-time to inflate the airbags.
An easy way to determine if an Honggu air compressor is faulty is
to look at your vehicle’s height. If you notice that it’s lower
than usual, chances are something is wrong with the air compressor.
Clicking or grinding noise is also a clear sign that either the
compressor or another component is not working as it should.
Excessive Moisture
Moisture in an air suspension is normal. However, excess moisture
in the system may mean that the air dryer assembly is
malfunctioning. When visually inspecting the air springs and
airbags, make sure to look for signs of rust or corrosion. That’s a
clear indicator that you need to have your air dryer replaced along
with other faulty components.
Once you notice anything wrong with your air suspension system,
have your vehicle checked by a mechanic. If it isn’t the air struts
that are faulty, chances are something else is wrong with the
system, so it is best to address the problem right away with the
help of an expert.
How Much Does an Air Suspension Strut Cost?
Honggu air suspension strut replacement usually costs around $250
to $1000, depending on the brand you choose. It can be sold
individually or in sets of two. Make sure to check how many you
need before making any purchase.
