Signs Your MagneRide or Air Suspension May Be Failing

Bring your vehicle to Canadian Auto for a suspension inspection if you notice:

• Suspension warning messages

• “Service Suspension System” message

• Very hard or unusually harsh ride

• Excessive bouncing

• Vehicle leaning to one side

• Front or rear suspension sitting too low

• Vehicle sagging after being parked overnight

• Air compressor running excessively

• Compressor not operating

• Air suspension leaks

• Leaking shocks or struts

• Knocking or clunking over bumps

• Uneven ride height

• Poor handling or stability

• Repeated suspension repairs

• Expensive OEM suspension replacement estimates

A proper diagnosis is important because a suspension warning does not automatically mean the entire system requires replacement.

Canadian Auto can inspect the vehicle and recommend an appropriate repair or conversion option.

Why Consider a MagneRide or Air Suspension Delete?

Reduce Future Suspension Complexity

Conventional suspension systems generally use fewer electronic and pneumatic components than factory adaptive or air suspension systems.

For owners planning to keep an older or higher-kilometre vehicle, reducing that complexity may be attractive.

Avoid Repeated Air Suspension Repairs

Replacing one failed air suspension component does not necessarily renew the rest of the system.

Older air bags, compressors, lines, sensors and valves may continue to age even after an individual component has been repaired.

A complete conversion can eliminate many of those components.

More Predictable Ride Height

A leaking air suspension may cause a vehicle to sag overnight or sit unevenly.

A properly installed conventional suspension conversion provides a fixed mechanical ride height appropriate to the selected application.

Practical for Alberta Conditions

St. Albert and Edmonton vehicles experience extreme temperature changes, winter conditions, moisture, road contamination and rough roads.

For some owners, the simplicity of a conventional suspension system makes it an attractive long-term alternative.

Keep an Older Vehicle on the Road

An expensive factory suspension repair can be difficult to justify on an older truck or SUV.

A conversion may provide another option when the owner wants to keep the vehicle rather than continue investing in the original electronic or air suspension.
