	EasyStreet by Air Lift - Air Suspension
		As the bag is compressed, the air pressure in the bag increases, forcing the bag to seek a return to its static height, or to “rebound”, similar to a steel spring.
		Air springs fail as a function of abrasion (contact with suspension and frame components), operation under extreme over or under-inflation conditions, or gross misalignment of the air spring.
		Air springs should never be subjected to prolonged use at maximum pressure, and a minimum of approximately 20 psi is required to prevent internal chafing of the air spring.

	Mk III Air Suspension
		Both the front and the rear suspensions (and the rear differential) are mounted on subframes fabricated from tubular steel and bolted to the underside of the Range Rover's monocoque body.
		When the air suspension ECU senses wheel movements corresponding to off-road conditions, front and rear cross-linking solenoid valves are opened, allowing air to flow freely between left to right airbags, making for greatly increased ground contact force (and traction) on a drooping wheel, as well as a soft off-road ride.
		Air springs similar to those on large trucks, but with longer travel and air inlets at the top to allow air to be pumped in or exhausted under computer control.

	NEW TECH: Electronic Air Suspension
		Electronic Air Suspension provides the comfort of riding on air with adjustable spring rates and capability to change ride height and load-carrying ability.
		Under normal driving conditions, an electronic air suspension vehicle rides at the same height as a traditionally sprung vehicle.
		Air is released from the bags to decrease the height.

	Air Suspension, Part I
		The air spring was originally used in the automotive field in the '30s.
		The companies quickly found that air springs weren't cost-effective and were dropped for the cheaper coil-wound spring that we're all accustom to.
		Air ride is the next step forward because of improved ride quality and the ability to raise and lower the car at will.

		Air springs provide additional support when it's needed and by simply varying the air pressure in the springs you can customize the ride for your road and load conditions.
		The air springs are attached to the existing suspension nothing is removed or altered.
		Yes, the more air pressure you add the less vehicle movement you get in return, vehicle sway is greatly reduced if the airbags are run on separate fill lines.

	Strutmasters: Lincoln Mark 7 Air Suspension Systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Description The 84-92 Lincoln Mark-VII Air Suspension System is an air operated, microprocessor controlled air suspension system which replaces conventional coil springs with air springs, providing automatic front and rear load leveling.
		Operation Air suspension operation is maintained by the addition or removal of air to or from the air spring, resulting in a predetermined front and rear air suspension ride height.
		Soultions If you have replaced the air springs and the compressor fails, then it would make good sense to replace the compressor and continue with the air.

	Air Suspension et al
		Air ride is something common on a lot of luxury cars.
		The air struts, shocks, can ware out, get holes, etc. Sometimes the holes can be patched- but when they do finally die- they are pretty expensive.
		You could make that setup even better by adding a set of air pressure gauges (one for each bag) so you know how much air is actually in the air bags (too much or too little is bad for the bags).

	Fielder Air Suspension on 4x4
		The Fielder rapid air suspension system employs air-bag springs at each corner but, unlike most air systems which are passive, this one is active under the control of an Intel 486 micro-processor.
		In contrast, the Range Rover (II) air suspension is adjustable for height but is not active.
		The suspension system is active to the extent that it resists cornering, braking and acceleration forces, responding quickly enough to keep the car level and improve on-road handling.

	Air Suspension Modules — Conversion from Cast Metal to Polymers, A Case Study
		Delphi Automotive’s air suspension module is one of the major features of the new Land Rover Range Rover, for which it was specially developed.
		In certain vehicle operations, the air spring module experiences extremely high pressure peaks under severe temperatures, ranging from -40°C to 100°C. Consequently the complete air spring and the piston made of Zytel HTN were tested to 65 bar burst pressure.
		In addition, each air spring module produced at Delphi Luton is leak tested at 10 bar air pressure.

		We've always thought of air suspension as a baroque item found on lowriders, hot rods and 18-wheelers, and admittedly, it did take a bit of "forceful encouragement" before we agreed to meet with the Praxis engineering team to hear about their new performance air suspension system.
		Of course, there are airbags, an air tank and a compressor in the system; these are required to move air to change the ride height of the vehicle.
		Instead of using a large compressor to fill the air bags on demand, a smaller compressor is used, which fills the air tank during "off peak" periods.
