5 Signs Your Mercedes-Benz E-Class Needs a New Air Spring
We all know the Mercedes-Benz E-Class as an icon of modern luxury and sophistication, especially since nearly every comfort feature surrounds you as you bask in a smooth and dynamic drive. But what happens when each cruise begins to feel rocky and rough? No need to worry, as your car isn’t beyond repair—instead, the issues likely start with your air springs. Stay tuned with us today as we’ll guide you through the symptoms of faulty air bags—and don’t forget to order your replacement air spring products at AEROSUS online.
How Do You Know Your Air Springs Are to Blame?
On the bright side, when your air bags become faulty, your luxurious German masterpiece isn’t shy about letting you know, as most of the signs are obvious—and you’ll visually spot some symptoms before taking a seat inside your executive sedan.
• Too Much Sagging
In general, your Mercedes-Benz E-Class should pose with a chiseled and dignified stance when parked. However, once the air springs gain a leak or start to deflate, you’ll notice sagging in the corner with the faulty part. Not only does this create a visually unpleasant look but you’ll feel the issues when you begin to drive and your ride height refuses to adjust at optimal moments, resulting in slower acceleration, less smoothness, and potentially losing control when you try to turn.
• Your Air Compressor Is Too Loud
If your air bags have any form of damage, like a crack, the leak causes your air compressor to work overtime to try to inflate your springs, which usually results in a loud hissing or buzzing sound. However, when overworked, this part eventually burns out—and you’ll know, as you’ll hear no audible noises on top of feeling a slippery slope of issues. Thus, you’ll want to make your replacement quickly before reaching this point.
• Your Air Compressor Makes No Noise
As we mentioned above, faulty air springs lead to a broken compressor. Thankfully, you can replace both parts at AEROSUS but we strongly suggest taking a look at your full air suspension system to help ensure no larger faults are present.
• Where’s the Luxurious Smoothness?
The luxury seems to disappear when your air springs form leaks or become damaged, as the bags can’t refill fast enough to dampen rough spots in the road, which means you’re looking at a go-kart-tier experience (and not in a fun way) for your upcoming cruises. Even a small pothole can turn your drive into a rocky mess, not only impacting your comfort but potentially hindering your safety if not quickly taken care of.
• Why Are Your Tires Balding Unevenly
As a result of the sagging, you’ll notice the tire tread on the corner with the faulty air spring tends to wear faster than your other tires. Not only will this lead to reduced fuel economy but you’ll also find problems with take-offs and basic control when you try to corner. So, make your replacement today to help protect your tires.
