Nowadays, air suspension systems are increasingly prevalent in premium vehicles. When selecting an air suspension system, owners must exercise 

caution to avoid inferior products, as substandard air suspension can introduce a range of driving risks and safety hazards.

1. Premature failure of control arms

Low-quality air suspension guide arms are typically manufactured using conventional leaf spring production techniques. The raw materials lack sufficient 

toughness and strength, resulting in unstable forming and localized stress concentration. Under moderately complex operating conditions, these components 

often fracture within 2 to 3 months. Once a guide arm breaks, the axle and air suspension may shift rearward or sway. In severe cases, this can lead to axle failure,

 wheel fly-off, rollover, and other catastrophic driving accidents.

2. Deformation or Cracking of Front Brackets

Substandard air suspension front brackets suffer from flawed structural design and inadequate strength. Under demanding conditions, forces generated by 

shock absorber movement transfer to the front brackets, causing deformation or cracking within 2-3 months. This can lead to axle failure, wheel fly-off, or 

vehicle rollover.

3. Premature bushing failure or cracking

Bushings form the critical interface between the front strut and control arm. Substandard air suspension bushings exhibit poor quality and accelerated wear, 

failing within 3-4 months of use. This failure causes air spring misalignment, strut cracking, chassis weld seam failure, axle housing fractures, tyre deformation, 

and vehicle body tilt.

4. Premature Shock Absorber Failure or Defects

Substandard shock absorbers or mismatched damping values relative to guide arm strength may exhibit oil leakage or loosening after 3–4 months of use, 

becoming fully ineffective within approximately 6 months. Following failure, the air spring may tear due to excessive travel. The vehicle will lose shock absorption,

 exhibiting vibrations and tail sway, potentially causing cracks in the chassis or upper tank structure.

5. Air Spring Rupture or Failure

Substandard air suspension air springs may exhibit cracking, displacement, separation between the bladder and base, or base deformation/damage after 4–5 

months of use. This causes suspension failure, resulting in loss of shock absorption, body roll, vibration, and tail sway. Severe cases may lead to rollovers, axle 

fractures, wheel detachment, and other catastrophic road accidents.

6. American-style air suspension: Main beam cracking and bushing damage

American-style air suspension systems feature rigid main beams that rely entirely on large rubber bushings for elastic deformation. When subjected to 

moderately complex operating conditions, this can result in main beam fractures, major bushing failure, or weld seam cracking at the main beam-axle joint, 

potentially causing severe traffic accidents.

Should vehicle issues stemming from substandard air suspension be detected, promptly contact the manufacturer's after-sales service department or qualified 

professionals for repairs. To avoid economic losses from frequent maintenance downtime, opt for mature, reliable air suspension brands. Conteteco Air
