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.

Volkswagen Beetle L5-2.5L - Oxygen Sensor Replacement (Front/Upper/Upstream) - Houston, Texas

Ben was fantastic! He arrived early which was a pleasant surprise. Our anticipated service time was around two and a half hours, but he was done in about one hour. He worked quickly, efficiently, and at the end explained everything thoroughly. He showed us the new and old parts, walked us through the report, and explained what he thought the next step in maintaining our vehicle should be. This was our first time using the Your Mechanic service and Ben completely sold us on it!

Volkswagen Beetle L5-2.5L - Mass Airflow Sensor Replacement - Houston, Texas

Tyrone replaced the mass air flow sensor and the fuel pump relay and he was still unable to get the car started. The P19044 code did not disclose what might be causing the problem. Tyrone checked and rechecked everything in his power and I appreciate all his help and concerns. After he left I did some research on my own and fyi P19044 has something to do with the smartcars brain and I appreciate that I was able to see the codes so that a registered VW mechanic can replace and reprogram the so called smartcar. He gave me all the information I need to deal with a VW mechanic. Thank you Tyrone and I'm sorry I made you late for your next appointment. Hope things went better there! Thank you so much for your dedication and you perserverence.
