What's involved
What this repair actually is.
Vehicles with air suspension ride on rubber air bladders (air springs) or complete air struts instead of steel springs. The rubber eventually dry-rots and leaks, making the vehicle sag, the compressor overwork, and the ride turn harsh. We replace the failed unit with a new air spring or strut, leak-check the connections, and recalibrate the system so it holds correct height at every corner.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Vehicle sags overnight or sits low on one corner
- Air suspension warning light or message
- Compressor runs constantly
- Suddenly harsh or bouncy ride
- Hissing sound near one wheel
If you delay
Driving on a collapsed air spring hammers the suspension, and the overworked compressor often burns out — doubling the repair bill.
