Can Air Suspension Be Jacked Up Directly?
1 Answers
It is advisable not to jack up air suspension directly, as doing so may damage the air suspension system. Compensating for Shortcomings: The primary purpose of air springs is to compensate for some of the shortcomings of metal springs. Since the energy-storing medium is changed from metal to air, the stiffness of the vehicle suspension can be adjusted by altering the air pressure. Adjusting Clearance: In addition to modifying suspension stiffness, air springs also have the capability to adjust the vehicle's ground clearance. However, since increasing the vehicle height inevitably involves raising the air pressure, when the suspension is adjusted to its highest setting, the overall stiffness will also slightly increase.
