What Causes Your RAM 1500 Air Suspension to Break?

Is your RAM pickup’s air suspension not working as intended? You’ll know when this issue arises since each cruise feels like a rocky mess complete with occasional bottoming out. Even when parked, faulty suspension results in your truck sagging to a corner along with not offering you an optimal ride height when you need to tow or generally cruise. Thankfully, the fix is as easy as ordering new parts—stick with us today as we discuss why these problems occur—and don’t forget to order your RAM 1500 air suspension products from AEROSUS.

What Are the Most Common Air Suspension Issues and Causes?

When it comes to common air suspension faults in a RAM truck, leaks are one of your most common culprits—and the usual cause involves your O-ring falling off of one of the air lines. Other times, your air bags simply receive damage from casual cruising—and if you off-road or drive roughly, you’ll speed up the damage to parts like your air springs since your ride is constantly needing to deal with heavy impacts, and as a result, leaks form and your air compressor is unable to fully fill the bags, which results in awkward ride heights and reduced damping ability.

The other most common air suspension fault involves your air compressor burning out. You’ll know the compressor is the issue when you can hear it humming outside your vehicle—the cause ranges from disconnected parts to general age. However, you’ll want to make a replacement since your air compressor powers your entire system—and check for any leaks or damaged parts, as a faulty compressor rarely acts alone.

Beyond the above, parts damage over time as well—sometimes, if you cruise in cold weather, the freezing conditions can cause your air suspension components to become brittle and eventually break. You’ll know the climate is an issue when your system responds slowly or parts like your air springs are experiencing malfunctions often—for another fix beyond replacements, try parking in warmer areas, like a garage.
