The summer holiday season is arriving and many people are going on holidays by car. This usually means the vehicle is being used different than in everyday life: overpacked, hauling, more kilometers etc. All these additional conditions cause extra strain on the car’s engine, driveline AND suspension.
Why you should also check the air suspension system in the “holiday check”:
While working on the air suspension system is generally not rocket science, there are some tips and tricks to take into consideration and smoothen the repair. Have a look at some of those in the article here!
Covid-19 has had the world in lockdown for a while now. With people being restricted in movement, many vehicles have been parked for weeks. In this article some of the consequences this may have on the vehicle’s air suspension system and how to keep the system in optimum condition.
Covid-19 crisis – Consequences for a vehicle’s air suspension system
In addition to their broad coverage of air suspension products, Arnott’s now also offers magnetic ride shocks for vehicles equipped with the GM magnetorheological damper system (Z95 RPO).
This magnetically controlled shock from Arnott provides the same highly adaptive ride as the OE. The monotube damper is filled with magnetorheological fluid which is a synthetic hydrocarbon oil that contains iron particles that are easily magnetized. The damper includes two electromagnetic coils which, when turned on, instantly change the bonds between the magnetized iron particles to alter the viscosity and stiffness of the suspension. Arnott’s new magnetic ride shocks connect to the vehicle’s ECU with no modifications, are a direct replacement for the GM MagneRide shocks and consist of OES design & components.

After a yearlong process of implementing, testing and improving, Arnott is pleased to announce that we have all standard TecCom modules available and functioning.
Arnott is celebrating over 30 years as the trusted leader in aftermarket air suspension parts and accessories. It has earned the trust of distributors, installers and end users by always focusing on ensuring customer satisfaction by manufacturing high quality aftermarket products that offer OE form, fit and function at an affordable price. With Arnott’s focus on continuous improvement, it was only natural to take the next step by integrating TecCom, a TecAlliance solution, into Arnott’s ERP system.
Arnott currently has the following available for its valued partners:
E-invoicing, which produces legislated invoices incl. a retention period, is still in development.
With this implementation, Arnott aims to increase customer satisfaction through a structured cooperation by providing fast reaction times, transparency and smooth processes.
Remanufactured original equipment air suspension struts offer customers an affordable solution for replacing a failing air strut while still maintaining the vehicle’s active or semi-active damping functionality.
Arnott has been remanufacturing air suspension struts for luxury cars, pick-up truck and SUVs since 1989. Arnott started remanufacturing used air suspension parts to keep them from filling up our landfills while providing the highest-quality refurbished products. In that time, Arnott has processed millions of original equipment cores identifying the most common failure points. Arnott engineers then strive to improve upon the original design to provide customers with a high-quality strut that works seamlessly with the vehicle’s auto leveling and active damping functionality and is less expensive.
Arnott remanufactured struts are inspected, steam cleaned, and then spin blasted to bare metal before the shock portion is recharged with new high performance shock oil. Worn shock components such as the piston and rod guides, as well as the seal pack, are replaced before being repainted with corrosion inhibiting paint and re-built with a new bump stop, premium brand air bladder, and other tier one components. Watch this video to learn more about the art behind properly remanufacturing air suspension struts. Don’t settle for less.

The award, given out by Professional Motor Mechanic Magazine is selected on the level of interest and enquiries generated by PMM’s 65,000+ readership. This makes the award a great reflection on Arnott Europe that we have made a real difference to the independent garage technician’s ability to maintain the high standards expected of modern day servicing and repairs with our high quality aftermarket air suspension replacement parts.
PMM Editor, Alex Juggins said: “Although most product lines are available as aftermarket offerings these days, there are still some components that the independent workshop can only purchase through the main dealer – often at great expense to them and their customers. The introduction of a range of quality air suspension replacement components from Arnott Europe in recent times has meant that workshops now have access to these products from their motor factor supplier. As such, the range is a worthy winner of one of our 2016 Top Product awards.”
