Chevy Impala Air Suspension Parts

An air suspension system is a type of automotive suspension whose operation is based on bags filled with compressed air. These bags, boots, or bellows do exactly the same that coil or leaf springs are responsible for. However, they have a couple of principal advantages over their mechanical counterparts. First of all, pneumatic springs can deal with road irregularities more effectively resulting in a generally smoother ride of the vehicle. Secondly, such a system makes it possible to change both the ride height and alter the stiffness of the springs by regulating pressure inside the bellows using a compressor that receives commands from the cockpit and can come into action even when the vehicle is moving.

The problem with the pneumatic suspension is that it somewhat more complicated, expensive, and less reliable than its traditional counterpart. Air springs were a part of optional equipment available for older, B-Body generations of the Chevy Impala. If you own one of these and something is wrong with its air suspension, you need dependable and affordable replacement parts. And that’s exactly what you can find in our catalog of Chevy Impala air suspension & components.
