Can You Continue Driving with a Faulty Air Suspension?
1 Answers
You can continue driving with a faulty air suspension, but it will not be able to raise or lower. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner repairs it immediately when this issue occurs. The structure of an air suspension is actually quite simple. While conventional suspensions have springs, air suspensions replace springs with airbags, which provide better shock absorption, thereby improving ride comfort. The raising and lowering of an air suspension are achieved by inflating and deflating the airbags. The component most prone to failure is the airbag. If the airbag is severely worn, it may leak air, rendering the air suspension unusable. If the air suspension is damaged, it is advisable to have it repaired at a 4S shop, ensuring that only genuine original parts are used during the repair process. Additionally, regular maintenance of the air suspension during normal vehicle use can help extend its lifespan.
