Can You Continue Driving with a Broken Air Suspension?
1 Answers
You can still drive normally with a damaged air suspension, but it will no longer be able to raise or lower the vehicle. Therefore, it is recommended to repair it immediately when this issue occurs. More details about air suspension are as follows: 1. Introduction: Air suspension involves adding an airbag or creating an air chamber inside the spiral spring. By adjusting the gas in the shock-absorbing airbag or air chamber, it helps change the shock-absorbing state and stabilize the vehicle's level. Conventional suspensions have springs, while air suspensions replace springs with airbags, providing better shock absorption and improving ride comfort. Air suspension raises and lowers the vehicle by inflating and deflating the airbags. 2. Structure: The air suspension system consists of a control computer, shock absorbers, air lines, an air distributor, and an air compressor. When the air suspension is active, the air compressor works to continuously deliver air into the air lines. Based on data feedback from the vehicle height sensors, the computer controls the distributor to allocate gas to the shock absorbers of the four wheels, causing changes. 3. Airbags: The component most prone to failure in an air suspension is the airbag. If the airbag is severely worn, it may leak, rendering the air suspension unusable. If the air suspension is broken, it is advisable to have it repaired at a 4S shop, and during the repair process, always use genuine original parts.
