Firestone Air Ride Suspensions
| More than seventy years ago, Firestone began
developing a full air-based suspension for passenger cars.
Firestone Airide™ air springs were installed on the
new line of General Motors buses in the early 50’s.
Later that decade, air suspensions
continued to
gain popularity
in luxury vehicles.

Over the next 20 years, technology
improvements in other air suspension components,
such as compressors and valves, helped support the
growth of air suspensions. In the late 1970’s, Ford
Motor Company incorporated air suspension in the
Lincoln Town Car and Continental.
Firestone has continued to be innovative in product
design, material selection and customer service,
providing our customers with improved ride quality
and safe load-carrying capabilities.
Currently, Firestone's automotive group provides air springs
to Ford, Land Rover, Range Rover and the General
Motors Hummer division. Firestone's heavy duty products
can be found on all larger over-the-road trucks, such
as Peterbilt and Freightliner. The Firestone “AIRIDE”
trademark can be seen on trailers all across our great
country and the world. |
