Problem: My vehicle is leaning
An (auxiliary) air suspension system could well be the solution. If your vehicle leans in some situations, this is often due to the suspension system not being optimised for the current condition, application and use of your vehicle. This can lead to unsafe situations. Or: Your vehicle reacts differently than expected.
By upgrading your vehicle with an (auxiliary) air suspension system, you can compensate for the deficiency in your current suspension system and return your vehicle to the correct ride height to ensure it is level.
This is desirable, since having your vehicle level and at the correct ride height is ideal for safety and contributes to increased safety, increased comfort, increased stability and optimal driveability.
This problem commonly occurs with the following:
What exactly is leaning?
Leaning means that your vehicle leans sideways (in certain situations). You may notice this, for example, when passing another vehicle or in very gusty conditions. The cause of leaning is that your vehicle has, in technical terms, reached an excessively high centre of gravity and/or is (or has become) 'top heavy'. This may be due to uneven loading or body modifications to your vehicle, for example.
How is that possible? Probably unlike during the installation of your current suspension system, our (air) suspension systems (from our VB-Partners) are recommended based on the current condition, application and use of your vehicle.
My vehicle is leaning.
If your vehicle has reached an excessively high centre of gravity and/or is extremely heavy, you may encounter the problem that your vehicle leans. Your vehicle reacts differently than you would like.
Characteristics of the problem (visible, tangible or audible):
1. Tangible, when driving in certain situations.
Possible consequences of the problem:
1. Your vehicle tilts, at the expense of your safety.
2. Your vehicle reacts differently than expected, at the expense of your safety.
