Don't start that one again, please.Hi oostsco
I think you will find its not air suspension its hydraulic system.
Don't start that one again, please.
The hydraulic system on a 100 series cruiser is air suspension. That the movement and load is transferred hydraulically doesn't change the air springs into anything else than air suspension. That the globes are filled with nitrogen doesn't change it either, as nitrogen is the main constituent in air.
PS: You can see the buttons for the suspension in front of the gear shift in one of the pics.
This is completely wrong Jon. The gas sphere is supporting the car, holding the weight that the steel springs do not hold. The hydraulic part of the system is doing the damping through the 16 step valve in the actuators. And it's the movement of the oil in and out of the sphere that makes it possible to do the damping this way. The oil (ahc fluid) is not compressible and follows the movement of the axle's up/down movement in relation to the frame/body exactly, while the gas in the sphere is easily compressible just like a coil spring....Yes there is nitrogen in the sphere's, but the spheres primary function is damping not supporting the car...
It is the steel casing of the sphere that is supporting the car not the nitrogen btw.
Point taken....It is the steel casing of the sphere that is supporting the car not the nitrogen btw.
Yes, it is a good forum.uHu - looks like I have started it .......... as you all know I am new to this forum but have seen some comments about the other forum, is this it. Have to say I quite enjoyed this "discussion" and my question has been answered in more detail than expected
Great forum
Tobie
.....I think I'll just agree to disagree uHu, some of what you say is correct, some is not.
.Graham, you have asked that question before. Yes the GX comes with normal suspension with the hydraulic system as an optional extra.
