SAFETY DEPENDS ON THE SUSPENSION.
An effective suspension system, with air springs and shock absorbers that works well ensures:
Braking system, suspension and tyres are the three key components of a vehicle.
IT IS therefore fundamental that they work perfectly in order to guarantee vehicle safety on the road.
Suspension Parts wear out over time and their rate of wear depends on a number of factors: environmental conditions, driving style, vehicle load. Suspension Parts gradually wear down and the negative effects (on steering accuracy, braking performance, and vehicle stability) often go unnoticed in normal driving conditions.
Iveco recommends that air springs and shock absorbers are checked every 40,000 km and replaced every 120,000 km. We recommend that they are replaced in pairs to avoid creating an imbalance on the vehicle axis.
WHY CHOOSING Genuine IVECO AIR SPRINGS AND SHOCK ABSORBERS?
The Genuine Iveco air springs and shock absorbers are manufactured in partnership with the best suppliers, working to the highest standards using the latest technology. They are specifically designed to the individual characteristics of each vehicle to satisfy safety and load requirements. Replacing the Genuine Iveco air springs and shock absorbers too late or with lower quality products can cause:
• Loss of traction, as it lowers the grip of the vehicle wheels on the road surface
• Ineffective braking, up to 20% longer, as there is an excessive weight transfer to the front wheels
• 15% increase of the risk of aquaplaning, as the removal of water between the tyres and the road surface slows down
• Excessive and non-uniform wear on the tyres
• Reduction in control and comfort of driving, causing rolling, pitching and bumpiness
DID YOU KNOW?
A vehicle with efficient air springs can increase and decrease its ground clearance and avoid any jerking of the back of the cab when parking or loading and unloading goods.
