4E06160001E Air Suspension Shock For Audi A8 Rear Left Car Parts

Air Suspension

Air Suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses air springs instead of conventional steel springs. Computer-operated vents on the air springs, suspension sensors, and an onboard air compress allow the system to maintain ride height and vary the suspension's ride charateriatics.

Air Shock

An air shock is a type of overlade shock absorber that can be inflated with air to increase the suspension’s load carrying ability.

Shock absorbers and how they work

The shock absorbers reduce and slow down the vibrations from the springs, which is why technically they are correctly referred to as vibration dampers. Vibration dampers convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through fluid friction. This involves the flow of oil being slowed down by the valve passages inside the damper.

Advantages of Air Suspension Shock Absorber

1. Improve driving dynamics, road handling and comfort

Driving dynamics, road handling and comfort are improved. The suspension is soft and comfortable during slow driving and becomes noticeably stiffer during faster driving. The suspension responds to dynamic load as it reacts to live load.

2. Ideal axle height

The car can be kept on its ideal axle height independent of its variable load. Driving safety is improved due to better road handling, for example, at night keeping the same headlight position.

3. Absorber energy

Higher ability to absorb energy which means better and safer handling in extreme driving conditions.

4. Better sound isolation and lower resonance frequency

Better sound isolation of airbag and lower resonance frequency, which leads to a smoother and more comfortable ride.
