What is the Air Suspension Dryer Assembly all about?

The vast majority of passenger cars in the US use a spring/strut or shock assembly in the suspension. However, there are others that use a different type of suspension – an air suspension. You find this frequently with luxury cars, as well as some European imports, and it’s offered on some high-end SUVs as an upgradeable option. Air suspension provides a very high quality, comfortable ride, and it works very well initially. However, over time, it’s subject to a number of problems not found with other types of suspension.

The most common problem with air suspension systems is compressor airbag deterioration, but equipment failure can also be an issue. In order to adjust to different driving surfaces and needs, an air suspension is equipped with an air compressor/air suspension dryer. This assembly is responsible for inflating the airbags to the proper level. The dryer serves the same purpose as the one in your HVAC system, namely to remove unwanted moisture from the air.

Over time, the air suspension dryer assembly will degrade and eventually fail. Replacement is necessary to keep your suspension in good condition.

Keep in mind:

  • If the compressor/dryer assembly fails, it’s possible that the compressor airbags will not inflate, causing the vehicle to sag and the suspension quality to drop drastically.
  • In many vehicles, the compressor/dryer is a single assembly and must be replaced together.

How it's done:

  • The air suspension dryer assembly is verified to see if it needs to be replaced
  • The defective air suspension dryer assembly is removed
  • The new air suspension dryer assembly is installed
  • The air suspension dryer assembly is tested for operation
  • The vehicle is tested to ensure proper operation of the air suspension dryer assembly

Our recommendation:

Your air suspension requires an operational compressor/dryer assembly in order to work. While a failed dryer won’t make your vehicle unable to be driven, it will compromise the performance and your comfort on the road. Have your suspension properly maintained by one of our professional mechanics and replaced if required.

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

  • Sagging suspension
  • Loose or bouncy ride
  • The compressor will not run

How important is this service?

The air suspension dryer assembly works in tandem with the compressor to first remove moisture, and then to inflate the air bags that form your suspension. As such, it’s a critical component. If the air bags do not inflate properly, you may be driving with soft, uneven suspension that is unable to compensate for aggressive driving maneuvers. If you have noticed any change in your suspension’s performance or ride quality, have the air suspension system inspected. Have the air suspension dryer assembly replaced if it is deemed faulty.

Ford F-150 V8-5.4L - Oil Change - Austin, Texas
One of the coolest things, I mean the last thing I want to do after work is take my car to get an oil change. Nathan was also very friendly, timely, and professional. He was clearly a good hardworking guy, so I could easily trust him with my vehicle while I was at work. The price is right in line with your jiffy lube, but you get a lot more value because these guys come right to you. I'm never taking my car to get its oil changed again and I couldn't be more excited

Hello so I’ve taken my vehicle to my local dealership who could not do anything but believes my transmission is going out due to my car shaking. However, I’ve had the car brand new for 6 years now and it has always done this. I own a 2015 Chevy Malibu Ltz turbo and I’ve been on top of my maintenance very well. I recently replaced the battery last year but I have not gotten a transmission flush because the dealership recommended I not and my spark plugs nor coil pack have ever been replaced and I’m at 107-108k miles. My car does not just shut down once I reach a certain speed, while on the interstate yesterday I was just fine but on my way home from work going through town in a stop start environment the signal came back on and my car started shaking and the stabilitrak came back on and my car did not want to go past 40 but eventually did and then was fine until the next stop light. Would this be my spark plugs and coil pack or would this be a whole new transmission?

How can we help?
