• Position on Vehicle: Rear axle — shock absorber/air spring assembly for left or right side.
• Function: Supports vehicle weight, regulates ride height via air spring, absorbs road shocks via hydraulic damper — delivering a smooth, controlled ride, correct rear-axle geometry under load, and adaptive suspension comfort/performance.
• Applications: Ideal when original rear air suspension struts have failed — e.g., air leaks, sagging rear, uneven ride height, harsh ride, suspension warning, or during a full rear suspension overhaul.
Rear air suspension struts carry a heavy load and endure considerable stress. Over time, common failure points include:
• Air-spring bellow leaks or degradation causing sagging rear or ride-height loss
• Internal damper wear leading to harsh, bouncy ride, poor handling, or increased noise
• Uneven ride height, reduced comfort, and distorted rear-axle geometry, affecting tyre wear and vehicle stability
Replacing worn or faulty struts restores:
• Correct ride height and level stance
• Smooth, controlled damping over bumps and load changes
• Balanced suspension behaviour and consistent handling
• Proper load distribution and reduced stress on other suspension components
When to replace:
• Rear of the vehicle sags or sits uneven under load or when parked
• Noticeable harshness, bounce, or instability over bumps or under braking
• Air-suspension warning, compressor over-run, or visible air-bag damage
• Full suspension overhaul or after replacing related components (compressor, valves, mounts)
