Chevy Astro Air Suspension Parts

A popular van produced from 1985 to 2005, the Chevrolet Astro became a real workhorse for many owners, whether they needed to carry loads or transport passengers. Structurally, the Astro featured a unibody construction, with separate sub-frames for the suspension and engine. The latter is a solid V6 providing adequate performance. A traditional coil suspension on the front axle and leaf springs in the rear provided good handling and decent cushioning, but still, many owners, especially those having a passenger minivan configuration, chose to equip their vehicles with the air suspension. Such an option let them receive a smoother ride and more comfort.

The air suspension was first introduced in the 1950s on some luxury vehicles, but it had remained a rarity for most other automobiles until the system became reliable and profitable for mass production. Its scheme is similar to a traditional suspension system, but the air suspension utilizes air bags inflated with pressurized air instead of coil or leaf springs. In our online store, we offer an exhaustive assortment of Chevy Astro air suspension components to keep the system efficient and provide a soft and comfortable ride for years to come.
