The Volvo XC90’s supreme comfort and refined driving experience come from an air suspension that absorbs road imperfections for a jerk-free ride. The second generation, starting with the 2016 model, comes standard with four-corner adaptive air suspension, paired with Volvo’s active chassis technology. The air suspension comes in handy when driving on uneven terrains for it can increase the ground clearance, or lower the vehicle when loading freight in the boot space. Be that as it may, the air suspension is not immune to problems. We are going to break down the signs and symptoms of a bad air suspension and what to consider when replacing it.

Important Tip About the Volvo XC90
Always remember to turn off the air suspension system via the vehicle’s settings before lifting the XC90 using a jack or putting it on a lift. If left active, the computer will try to automatically compensate for the changed wheel load, which could potentially damage the whole system. Prevention has always been better than cure.
