Air Suspension System
As the car's suspension system is an often-overlooked area. From a
comfort and safety standpoint, your car's suspension is integral to
how your car drives. Shock absorbers and coil springs help absorb
and direct road force, maintaining wheel oscillation, jounce and
rebound.
However, every time you add or take away weight to a vehicle, speed
up or slow down, or turn left or right, this challenges what the
shock absorbers and springs are capable of. Traditional stock
shocks and springs are designed and installed with only a fixed set
of situations in mind.
Honggu Air suspension systems essentially replace a vehicle's coil
springs with air springs. The air springs are simply tough rubber
and plastic bags inflated to a certain pressure and height to mimic
the coil springs. But the similarities end there. By adding in an
on-board air compressor, sensors and electronic controls, today's
air suspension systems provide several advantages over all-metal,
conventional springs, including near-instant tuning, and the
ability to adapt handling to different situations and vary load
capability.
Whether the system is manual or electronic, or installed by a
weekend mechanic or a seasoned tech, air suspension can lower a car
to improve its street cred, even out a heavy payload, or simply
improve the ride of a vintage Detroit metal street monster.
Auto Parts Air Suspension Features:
1. Eliminate the vibration of the axle and wheels caused by the
road surface, ensure that the wheels grip the ground at any time,
thereby ensuring the steering and braking functions of the vehicle
and improving the safety of the vehicle.
2. To prevent the heavy vehicles from damaging other parts.
3. The off-road performance of the vehicle can be improved even in
extreme weather, and the noise is low, the friction is small, and
the service life is long.
A strut is a major structural part of a suspension. It takes the
place of the upper control arm and upper ball joint used in
conventional suspensions. Because of its design, a strut is lighter
and takes up less space than the shock absorbers in conventional
suspension systems.
Auto Parts Air Struts
A struts perform two main jobs. First, struts perform a damping
function. A piston is attached to the end of the piston rod and
works against hydraulic fluid to control spring and suspension
movement. Just like shock absorbers, the valving generates
resistance to forces created by the up and down motion of the
suspension. Also like shock absorbers, a strut is velocity
sensitive, so that the amount of resistance can increase or
decrease depending on how fast the suspension moves.
A struts also perform a second job. Unlike shock absorbers, struts
provide structural support for the vehicle suspension, support the
spring, and hold the tire in an aligned position. Additionally,
they bear much of the side load placed on the vehicle's suspension.
As a result, struts affect riding comfort and handling as well as
vehicle control, braking, steering, wheel alignment and wear on
other suspension.
Shock absorbers and how they work
The shock absorbers reduce and slow down the vibrations from the
springs, which is why technically they are correctly referred to as
vibration dampers. Vibration dampers convert kinetic energy into
thermal energy through fluid friction. This involves the flow of
oil being slowed down by the valve passages inside the damper.
How do you take care of air suspension?
1.To help you better take care of your vehicle, here are the top
five tips for maintaining your car's air suspension system.
2.Check System for Leaks.
3.Check Air Line Connections.
4.Check the Air Springs.
5.Perform Visual Inspections and Clean Regularly.
6.Schedule Routine Service Appointments.
