Air Suspension Troubles
Land Rover Repair in Walnut Creek, CA
Suspension Matters
Out of sight, out of mind. Although some drivers take the approach expressed in this old adage with their vehicles, your automobile's suspension actually matters quite a bit, even though it's not the first thing you see when you look at your car. The suspension system supports the weight of your vehicle, helps it maintain traction on the road, assists you with control/steering, and offers you a comfortable ride. Therefore, issues with the suspension system should always be addressed promptly. Fortunately, the ASE-certified technicians at German Sport in Walnut Creek, California, can handle any air suspension woes you're experiencing with your Land Rover.
Suspension and Your Land Rover
Although traditional suspension systems rely on shocks/struts, springs, and other metal components, your Land Rover operates using an air suspension system. An onboard air compressor inflates the air bags that replace some of the typical parts, allowing you to experience a smooth, well controlled ride. Over time, however, these air bags can age and crack, allowing air to escape. Road debris can also cause punctures that compromise them in the same way. Not only does this diminish their performance, but it also causes the compressor to work harder to maintain the proper pressure. If it wears out quicker than expected due to this stress, you're going to need a more extensive and expensive repair. Therefore, its better to visit German Sport for suspension repair as soon as you realize there's a problem. Better yet, have us check your Land Rover's suspension periodically to detect the early warning signs of suspension damage. This proactive approach cannot only ensure a smooth ride but also prevent costly repairs. In addition to a reduced ride quality, you may notice the compressor or a dashboard light coming on frequently. As the problem progresses, you may even see your vehicle sitting/sagging sideways.
