Auto Suspension Parts Rear Air Suspension Shock Absorber For Mercedes W251 Air Spring Strut R-Class 2513201931

About Shock Absorbers

Shock absorbers are suspension parts that help your vehicle drive smoothly over rough terrain. They’re designed to cushion air suspension parts from road energy from bumps and dips. Most importantly, shocks work to prevent bouncing and bottoming out.

Shocks help the vehicle resist movement caused by bumps. Each shock comes with a piston that moves through a tube filled with fluid or air. As it moves, the fluid or air flows through holes and valves in the piston. This controls the stiffness of the ride or how much the vehicle resists movement.

On top of that, modern advancements allow drivers to adjust the stiffness of the ride manually or automatically. This helps the shocks provide the best cushion and performance depending on your specific driving needs or the current terrain.

While all shock absorbers work to minimize vehicle movement and ensure a smooth performance, they’re not a one-size-fits-all type of suspension part. Shocks come in many types for specific vehicles and performance needs. Some types of shock absorbers are:

Air shocks
Strut-type shocks
Spring seat shocks
Conventional telescopic shocks

How To Install Air Suspension

Step 1: Prepare the vehicle. Wearing eye protection, use the jack to lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Then remove the tires.

Step 2: Remove the coil spring and front struts. Determine whether the air suspension is just going to be in the rear or if the kit is for the front and rear.

Step 3: Prepare to install the air suspension. If the kit being installed uses a compressor, the most common place to install this is in the spare tire well.

Note: There are many different styles and fitments for front air struts depending on make, model, and suspension type.
