Suspension

Spare parts and maintenance for the suspension system
In this category of our online store you will find a specialized catalog of suspension components designed specifically for heavy-duty vehicles and industrial transport. We offer an extensive range of essential replacement parts to restore stability, load capacity and driving comfort in trucks, trailers and buses.

These spare parts are primarily aimed at fleet managers, mechanical workshops and professional drivers who require technical solutions for preventive maintenance or breakdown repairs. Ensuring the proper condition of shock absorbers, leaf springs and air bellows is vital not only for road safety, but also to minimize wear on other mechanical components and protect the cargo during journeys.

How to identify the right spare part for your vehicle

OEM reference: Check the original part code (OEM) to ensure full compatibility with the truck or trailer system.
System type: Determine whether your vehicle uses mechanical suspension (leaf springs) or air suspension, as the components vary drastically.
Mounting axle: Confirm whether you need the part for the front axle, drive axle or trailer axles, as load specifications are different.
Vehicle make and model: Filter results based on the heavy-duty vehicle manufacturer’s technical data sheet.
Auxiliary components: Consider whether you need mounting kits, silentblocks or additional bolts to complete the installation correctly.

Frequently asked questions

What are the symptoms of a faulty suspension in heavy-duty vehicles?
The most obvious signs include uneven tire wear, unusual noises or metallic knocks when driving over potholes, excessive leaning of the cab or trailer in corners, and a general loss of stability and comfort while driving.

What is the difference between air and mechanical suspension?
Mechanical suspension uses steel leaf springs to absorb impacts and is common in construction vehicles or extreme loads. Air suspension uses air bellows controlled by valves, offering adjustable chassis height and superior vibration absorption for long-distance transport.

How often should a truck’s shock absorbers be checked?
It is recommended to visually inspect the system at every scheduled service. However, replacement depends on mileage, the type of load and the roads traveled. A shock absorber with oil leaks or structural damage must be replaced immediately.

Do you sell repair kits or individual parts?
At Enrique Requena we offer both individual components (such as a shock absorber or an air spring) and repair kits that include the accessories required for installation, such as bolts and bushings, facilitating a complete workshop intervention.
