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.

Ford Ranger V6-4.0L - Valve Cover Gasket - San Clemente, California

This was my first experience with "Your Mechanic"s representative Chris Allshouse. He exceeded my expectations. Chris arrived on time and and after explaining the process and steps he would take to repair the vehicle, went immediately to work. The job was completed very close to the estimated time. Chris exhibited all those qualities you would expect from a professional mechanic. Those include, but not limited to, a professional attitude, friendly personality, courteous manner, and expert knowledge, The job was finished very close to the estimated time. I also appreciated that Chris call me back later in the day to check to see that the car was running satisfactorily and if I had thoroughly satisfied. By chance the engine light had come on after I had run the car around town for a couple of hours. Chris came by after his last call, ran diagnostics and fixed the problem. I couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend.
