Functionality of the rear air spring

The component allows automatic adjustment of the vehicle height as the rear load changes, via the pneumatic system connected to a compressor and control valves.

Main functions:

• Absorption of vertical stresses
• Adjustment of ground clearance according to load
• Improvement of chassis stability under heavy transport conditions
• Reduction of vibrations transmitted to the cargo area and occupants

The efficiency of the air spring is crucial for handling, safety and comfort, especially in commercial vehicles used intensively.

• Permanent deformations due to repeated overloading
• Wear of the upper or lower mounting points
• Failure of the internal sealing ring
• Ingress of dust or moisture into the spring body

Typical symptoms:

• Rear end lower on one side
• Feeling of instability while driving
• Hissing air noises in the rear area
• Activation of the suspension warning light (where fitted)

These symptoms indicate the need for inspection and possible replacement of the component.

Conclusions

The rear spring OE 1350998080 represents a critical component for the efficiency and safety of commercial vehicles equipped with pneumatic suspensions. Its correct functioning allows maintenance of the ideal ride height even at full load, reducing chassis wear and improving driving quality.
