Why Your Ride in Your Land Rover Might be a Little Bumpy

Why Your Ride in Your Land Rover Might Be a
Little Bumpy
2
Land Rovers are capable of handling rough roads,
and it can be frustrating to discover that they
are failing to do their job.
3
Their suspension is unique well-designed to
handle a rough road, but even they are
susceptible to problems.
4
Land Rover's suspension is built for endurance,
but its also designed keeping in mind the
comfort of the occupants.
5
Its important that if you recognize troubling
symptoms, then bring your Land Rover to a trusted
automotive specialist immediately.
6
What is a ride optimization system
7
Many luxury vehicles are fitted with a ride
optimization system, including the Land Rovers.
8
This system runs by calculating a driver's
driving habits road conditions, then adjusting
the suspension to the driver's standards.
9
Thus, if you regularly drive over a rough
terrain, then the system will be able to
recognize the terrain your driving style.
10
Then it will be able to adjust the various
components to optimize running under those
circumstances.
11
Unfortunately, when something goes wrong with the
ride optimization feature it can greatly affect
the comfort of your ride in the Rover.
12
Common air suspension problems
13
When the ride optimization system malfunctions,
you might begin to notice specific suspension
problems alongside the failure of this program.
14
This is because as the ride optimization feature
fails, it leaves the main suspension components
prone to damages even failure.
15
Here are some of the most common air suspension
problems.
16
Deteriorating air springs
17
Springs can begin to deteriorate due to various
circumstances, as consistent wear is normal over
the life of a vehicle.
18
But depending on your driving conditions and
driving habits, air springs might wear quicker
than normal.
19
For instance, if your Land Rover is used for
driving over bumpy roads regularly, it can wear
out the springs faster.
20
Air compressor failure
21
Your Land Rovers air suspension is designed to
fill the air bags with air that raise the vehicle
up off the ground.
22
It supports the weight of the vehicle,
cushioning it as the car rides over bumps and
potholes.
23
In order for the airbags to fill properly, the
air compressor must be functioning well enough to
fill the airbags with adequate air.
24
Air leaks
25
If the air suspension system experiences leak in
any of the system components, it can lead to
symptoms of suspension failure.
26
The source of the leak must be determined through
a suspension-specific differential diagnosis.
27
Symptoms of suspension issues
28
If there is an issue with the ride optimization
system, or with any other components, then you
might notice these symptoms
29
Car sits lower than normal
30
This can occur when one or more of the airbags is
compromised, or when the air compressor has
failed.
31
Driving your Land Rover under these conditions
can wind up doing serious damage to the car.
32
Feels rough going over bumps
33
If the Land Rover seats lower than normal in one
or more point, then you will experience severe
road bumps inside the cabin.
34
For a Land Rover, this is especially problematic
because it should be able to handle rough
conditions.
