Air Ride vs. Leaf Spring: What's the Better Option for You?

When it comes to truck suspensions, fleet managers often face the question of whether to choose air ride or leaf spring suspension. Each option has its own advantages and considerations: air ride suspension offers a smoother and more comfortable ride thanks to its air-filled bags that adjust to varying road conditions. It provides better shock absorption, reducing driver fatigue and minimizing cargo damage. 

On the other hand, leaf spring suspension is known for its durability and load-carrying capacity, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. It offers simplicity and cost-effectiveness, making it a popular choice for many fleet owners. Ultimately, the decision depends on your specific needs and preferences. 

Signs of Suspension Wear

Proactively monitoring your truck's suspension system is what can save you thousands of dollars down the road while ensuring the safety of your drivers. Here are some common signs of suspension wear to watch out for:

  1. Excessive bouncing or swaying: If your truck bounces excessively over bumps or exhibits excessive body roll during turns, it may indicate worn-out shocks or other suspension components.
  2. Uneven tire wear: Uneven tire wear patterns, such as cupping or feathering, can be a sign of suspension misalignment or worn-out components.
  3. Excessive noise: Unusual noises, such as clunking or squeaking sounds when going over bumps, can indicate worn bushings, ball joints, or other suspension parts.
  4. Steering issues: Difficulty steering, pulling to one side, or a steering wheel that doesn't return to the center can be signs of suspension problems.
