Can the Vehicle Still Be Driven if the Air Suspension Is Damaged?
1 Answers
It is possible to drive for a short distance with a damaged air suspension, but it is not recommended to continue driving. At this time, the tires may experience uneven wear, and the wheel hubs may bear uneven forces, leading to suspension imbalance. This can easily cause damage to other components and may even lead to the failure of other intact air suspension parts. Therefore, under non-emergency circumstances, it is not advisable to continue driving. Vehicles equipped with air-adjustable suspension systems are typically fitted with ground clearance sensors near the front and rear wheels. Based on the output signals from these sensors, the vehicle's computer determines changes in body height and controls the air compressor and exhaust valves to automatically compress or extend the springs, thereby adjusting the chassis ground clearance to enhance high-speed stability or off-road capability.
