Product Description
Air Suspension Spring
Features & Benefits

- Suspension service targets the air bag instead of linkage hardware
- Provides pressure-based cushioning at the spring support location
- Air chamber carries suspension load through controlled internal pressure
- Mounting beads seal the spring at the upper and lower seats
Meritor Air Suspension Spring
Keep ride-height cushioning in the air suspension system with the Meritor Air Suspension Spring. Its 6.50-inch bottom, 6.31-inch top, 6.90-inch collapsed height, and 20.30-inch maximum height define the air spring profile for the suspension position. The air chamber carries load through pressure, allowing the chassis to respond to changing weight and road conditions. Service stays centered on the air bag itself rather than the leveling valve, shock absorber, or torque rod. The Meritor FS8979 places pressure-based cushioning back into the suspension spring location.
