Rear Suspension Air Shock Absorber

An air shock absorber for the rear suspension may be installed as an optional component.

1 — air shock absorber
2 — air supply unit
3 — right pipe
4 — left pipe
5 — bolt with serrated washer

The air shock absorber is a combination of a gas-filled damper and an air spring. The air spring consists of an air reservoir, a protective sleeve and a piston with an additional volume. The protective sleeve forms a sealed connection between the air reservoir and the shock absorber. Its working inner surface absorbs, in addition to air pressure, the load on the vehicle.

Height sensors are located behind the cover on the left and right sides of the rear suspension and are connected to the air shock absorbers through an adjusting rod.
The air supply unit control module is located under the spare wheel behind the instrument panel cover.
