Firestone Airide® Springs
Firestone Industrial Products Company is a global leader in air springs, known for their Airide® trademark. They have manufacturing facilities in the USA, Brazil, Japan, and Poland, and research centers in the USA, Italy, and Japan. Airide® springs are widely used in air suspension systems.
Components and Identification
The guide details Airide® spring components and identification methods for different types, such as convoluted and reversible sleeve styles. It stresses the importance of using genuine Airide® springs for optimal performance.
Types of Air Springs
Air springs are categorized into convoluted style, DR convoluted style, and reversible sleeve styles (1T and 1R). Each category includes parts tables for double and triple convoluted styles and specific models.
Replacement Guide and Cross-References
A detailed replacement guide for European OEMs is provided, along with cross-reference tables comparing Firestone products with competitors like Contitech, Dunlop, Goodyear, and others.
Warranty and Maintenance
The guide outlines warranty evaluation criteria and includes a preventative maintenance checklist to ensure air spring longevity and performance.
Additional Resources
An index of order numbers and a comprehensive list of parts tables for various air spring styles are included for easy reference.
Specifications and Identification
Instructions for identifying and measuring Airide® springs, including reversible sleeve and convoluted styles, are provided. Correct identification is ensured by comparing measurements with diagrams.
Measurement Procedures
For reversible sleeve springs, measure the distance from the piston to the closure plate when uninflated. For convoluted springs, determine if it is double or triple convoluted and measure bead plate and bellows diameters.
Rubber Bumper Check
To check for an internal rubber bumper, compress the spring to its minimum height and compare with guide images.
1T Style and Convoluted Style Details
Instructions for comparing bead plates and pistons with guide images for 1T and convoluted styles are provided, along with part ordering information.
Hardware and Part Numbers

Overview
The document details maintenance, installation, and troubleshooting of Firestone AirideTM air springs, emphasizing proper installation and maintenance to prevent failures.
Warranty and Replacement
Firestone offers a warranty against defects, with free replacements through authorized distributors, excluding labor and incidental costs.
Common Causes of Failure
Most failures are due to misuse or suspension issues, not defects. Inspect old air springs before replacement to identify failure causes.
Types of Failures and Causes
  • Misalignment: Caused by worn bushings or improper installation.
  • Loose Girdle Hoop: Occurs with low air pressure and extended positions.
  • Bottoming Out: Results from broken shock absorbers or overloaded vehicles.
  • Abrasion: Caused by structural interference or foreign materials.
  • Circumferential Cuts: Caused by high pressure and extended positions.
  • Over Extension: Due to incorrect shock absorbers or air springs.
