Bilstein says their air suspension modules provide “maximum comfort and safety”

At first glance, remanufactured air suspension modules may appear to be a cost effective alternative – but appearances are deceptive, says Bilstein.
It warns that in many cases, only the visible bellows are replaced, while the integrated gas pressure shock absorber and the control valves remain untouched, but this is precisely where the danger lurks.
These components are subject to high wear and tear, and their functionality decreases over time.
The workshop is hardly able to check the actual condition of these components – and thus the risk of unexpected defects or functional failures remains.
An air suspension module that no longer works precisely can have serious consequences: the damping may no longer react optimally, and driving stability and safety may deteriorate drastically.
It can be even more disastrous if the module is incorrectly integrated into the vehicle’s electronic system, as the expected safety reserves will not be provided without seamless communication between the vehicle sensors, on-board computer and air suspension module – which can have disastrous consequences in an emergency.

To avoid such risks, Bilstein believes that “the only safe choice is to use new OE replacement air suspension modules.”
It states that the Bilstein B4 air suspension modules not only offer driving characteristics like those fitted in the factory, but also ensure maximum comfort and unrestricted safety.
Bilstein explains that these modules are perfectly matched to the vehicle’s electronic system, so that the air suspension reacts precisely in every situation – whether it is a sudden evasive manoeuvre or automatic adjustment to road conditions and load.
For workshops, Bilstein says using its B4 replacement air suspension modules it is not only technically easier, but also more convenient.
Thanks to plug-and-play, installation is quick and easy and Bilstein guarantees 100 percent compatibility with the vehicle – this avoids expensive complaints and uncertainties, and gives the customer the same driving experience as on the first day, says the company.
With Bilstein B4, Bilstein says workshops can avoid unsafe compromises.
