Air Spring

Air suspension is used in place of conventional steel springs in heavy vehicle applications such as buses and trucks. It is broadly used on semi-trailers. The purpose of air suspension is to provide a smooth, constant ride quality. Modern electronically controlled systems almost always feature self-leveling along with raising and lowering functions.

Although traditionally called air bags or air bellows, the correct term is air spring (although these terms are also used to describe just the rubber bellows element with its end plates). Trust the experts at Griffith Automotive Repair when your truck’s air bag suspension needs service, repair, or replacement. Call us at 520-807-2886 to schedule an appointment.

Equalizers

Suspension equalizers are an effective aftermarket innovation for rear leaf suspensions. The equalizers are designed to aid in the carrying ability of your truck. Equalizers have the following advantages: fuel economy, increased safety, increased power, reduced tire wear, improved steering, and improved braking. Most equalizer kits include U-bolts, Equalizer Bars, Shackle Plates, Greasable Bolts, Rollers, Spring Washers, Washers, U-bolt Plates, and Nylon Locking Nuts. For all your suspension equalizer needs, visit or call Griffith Automotive Repair in Tucson, AZ, today.

Hangers

Hangers are an effective way to enhance your truck’s driving stability, handling, and suspension response. Hangers lower your truck’s center of gravity, protect it from rollovers in turns and corners, and help modif

Shocks

Shock absorbers are mechanical devices designed to smooth out shock impulses, thus reducing the effects of traveling over rough roads. Car and truck shocks convert kinetic energy formed when a vehicle travels over rough ground into another form of energy.

With shocks, you can take your truck to places you never thought possible. Shocks work together with springs (damp spring oscillations) to give your truck the best overall performance and the ability to carry the maximum load. For all your shock servicing, shock repairs, and shock replacement needs, call or visit Griffith Automotive Repair today.

Torque Arms & Walking Beams

A torque arm is a metal arm attached between a drive axle and the vehicle’s frame. Torque arms prevent axle rotation in hub motors. It prevents the wheels from trying to rotate the axle relative to the vehicle’s frame under acceleration (or in the opposite direction during braking). A walking beam is an oscillating lever that pivots on a central axis. It uses internal cam technology to transmit linear stroke in two directions (produces a reciprocating or reversible motion).
