What is the purpose of an air spring?
An air spring could be defined as a reservoir of air made of rubber and fabric, which is shaped with bellows and that can be used to support load, isolate vibrations and shocks, or act as a pneumatic cylinder by expanding itself.
Is air suspension better than springs?
The use of airbags above your wheels, rather than springs, also improves the quality of the journey for passengers. Another advantage of air suspension is less wear and tear on the suspension system and vehicle components, due to reduced harshness and vibration, particularly with heavy-duty driving
What is the best type of airbag?
The double convoluted air bags are most widely used in the industry due to their shape and design that allows to lift more weight with less air pressure compared to sleeve style air bags. But every vehicle that started out from the factory with air suspension will have a specific type of air spring that is used and should be replaced with the same specification air spring. There are a lot of Air spring manufacturers out there and the cheapest is not always the best.
