FIRESTONE

Features & Benefits

• Rubber bellows section provides the expandable chamber where suspension air pressure does its work
• Steel end plates give the assembly defined mounting surfaces at the top and bottom connection points
• Bead plate construction helps secure the bellows where the air spring meets its mounting hardware
• Kit format brings together the service components needed around the air spring assembly
• Wall thickness in the bellows area gives the part more substance for repeated suspension cycling
• Application-matched dimensions make the unit better suited to the intended low-floor front setup

Firestone Suspension Air Spring

The Firestone Suspension Air Spring supports suspension load handling by using air pressure to create the working spring force within the system. In operation, an air spring changes with pressure and movement, allowing the suspension to respond as vehicle load and ride conditions shift throughout the route. That makes this type of component especially useful in applications where support, ride height, and load response are tied to an air-based suspension layout instead of a conventional fixed spring design. Air spring service also centers on the full assembly at the mounting points, because the bellows, end plates, and bead areas all matter to how the part functions once it is in place. For the intended low-floor front suspension setup, the Firestone W013585298 is the air spring kit used in that application.
