Discover How Air Bag Suspension Works! As versatile and convenient as cars are, it's easy to overlook the small built-in comforts they provide, such as smooth riding. If it weren't for suspension systems, our travels would definitely be a bit more bumpy. Air bag suspension is an improvement over the traditional systems; however, the basic design for air suspension merely replaces the parts used in the older design. A traditional suspension system involves steel springs and shock absorbers. The mechanism itself is made up of a coil, or leaf spring, that contains a piston. As the pistons moves up and down, gas or liquid contained in the chamber works to buffer the impact of the piston.This is the shock absorber mechanism at work. The spring and piston move together in each wheel position to absorb the shock whenever the car rolls over a bump. Since the coil springs are designed to resist being compressed, they further enhance the effect of the shock absorber. Air bag suspension takes this enhanced effect a couple steps further by using air bags in the place of the spring-piston setup.Instead of the metal spring mechanism, strong rubber bags act as air containers. The bags are...more
