Can You Still Drive with a Broken Air Suspension?

[OKevin]

It is possible to drive a short distance with a broken air suspension, but it is not recommended. At this time, the tires may experience uneven wear, the wheel hubs may bear uneven force, and the suspension imbalance can easily cause damage to other components. It may also lead to the failure of other intact air suspension parts. Therefore, unless in extreme circumstances, it is advised not to continue driving. Below are some precautions for using air suspension: 1. The typical lifespan of an air suspension under normal use is about five years. If the vehicle is frequently parked and unused, the lifespan may decrease to around three years. Driving on rough or poorly maintained roads can significantly reduce the suspension's lifespan, and issues may arise even within the expected usage period. 2. Regularly inspect the airbags for aging, corrosion, or leaks, and replace them if necessary. If the plastic base of the airbag is severely deformed or cracked, check whether the leveling valve FH value is normal and replace any damaged parts accordingly.
