W01-358-8646/1T15M-2 Firestone Air Ride Air Spring For Auto Chassis Suspension

How are Air Springs Different from Traditional Springs?
There are some differences between air springs and traditional springs in principle and function. Here are their main differences:

Working principle: Air springs adjust the hardness and height of the suspension system by inflating and releasing gas. They use air pressure to support the weight of the vehicle and provide shock absorption. Traditional springs absorb and disperse the impact of the vehicle through elastic deformation.

Adjustability: Air springs are adjustable and can change the hardness and height of the suspension system by adjusting the air pressure. This allows the driver to adjust the suspension characteristics of the vehicle as needed. The hardness and height of traditional springs are usually fixed and cannot be adjusted in real time.

Load adaptability: Air springs have better adaptability to load. By adjusting the air pressure, the height and hardness of the suspension can be adjusted according to the load conditions of the vehicle to maintain the stability of the vehicle and the performance of the suspension. The load adaptability of traditional springs is poor and cannot be adjusted in real time according to the load conditions.

Driving experience: Due to the adjustability and load adaptability of air springs, they are generally able to provide a more comfortable driving experience. The driver can adjust the suspension system according to road conditions and load conditions to obtain better suspension performance and shock absorption. The driving experience of traditional springs may be relatively fixed.
