What it does

Air suspension uses air springs instead of steel springs so ride height or load support can be adjusted. Worn suspension and steering parts show up as clunks, wandering, uneven tire wear and a vague feel; fresh parts restore control, and performance parts sharpen it.

Installation & tips

  • Check whether the listing includes the compressor and controls, or if you need them separately.
  • Management: Needed unless the listing says it is included.
  • This part affects how the vehicle stops, steers or holds the road. If you are not sure how to fit it, have it installed or checked by a qualified mechanic.
