What is the Suspension Air Bag all about?

Suspension air bags are designed to keep your vehicle from swaying, sagging or otherwise delivering a rough ride when you have it loaded. By adding extra support to your current suspension, your truck or SUV should give you a much smoother ride, even with additional weight. Some upscale SUV’s have factory-installed suspension air bags that automatically level the load and ride height. They are controlled by suspension height sensors that provide information to the body control module, which directs the proper air pressure from a compressor to the air bag. If there is a leak in an air bag, or if your air bag pressure will not adjust, it may need to be replaced.

Keep in mind:

Except for some upscale vehicles, most trucks and SUVs don’t come with suspension air bags as factory components. If you didn’t add them on yourself, you probably don’t have them.
Incorrect tire pressure can mimic the symptoms of a weak suspension air bag.

How it's done:

The vehicle is lifted and supported on jack stands and the rear wheels are removed
The defective suspension air bag is removed
The new suspension air bag is installed
The tires are reinstalled and the vehicle is taken off the jack stands
The air suspension is activated and tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

If your suspension is riding rough, it’s a good idea to have your suspension and suspension air bags looked at. Air bags are typically made of rubber and can be subject to environmental weathering. If you suspect your suspension air bag is leaking, have one of our expert mechanics diagnose them.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Suspension Air Bag?

Vehicle rides rough or is bouncy
When carrying a load, the suspension feels loose or wanders

How important is this service?

The suspension air bags in your vehicle aid in proper control and a comfortable ride. If your air bags are not working as designed, you may experience control problems when driving on the highway. Have the suspension air bags repaired as soon as you are able.

Chevrolet Malibu V6-3.6L - Headlight Bulb Replacement (Driver Side Low Beam, Passenger Side Low Beam) - Mesa, Arizona

Michael arrived well within the interval for the repair. He was scheduled for 145, showed up at 155. The control arm repair went well - no issues It took me eight hours to do it myself on the drivers side He had the passenger side done in two And the ride of the car is greatly improved However I also had him replace a headlamp bulb in our front headlight that had blown out On a chevy Malibu its a very tough job You have to remove the front bumper to do it He replaced it fine, but missed the fact the connector was bad and shorting out the bulb The new bulb blew out two days after he put it in the new ones I wish he had looked over the unit more closely I took it back to our regular mechanic who found the problem quickly So yes the work was done, and done less expensively than the garage, but I had to have it done at the garage anyway
