What are the three basic types of suspension systems?
There are three basic types of suspension components: linkages, springs, and shock absorbers.
How to change ads suspension to regular conversion?
After checking all the electrical connections etc. I gave up and decided to change out the whole system – meaning I converted from an ADS system to the standard MDX system (non-electronic struts).
Is the ads suspension better than regular shocks?
I changed over to regular shocks on a 2008 Sport a couple of months ago. The ADS is a better system but not $4,000 better. The ride now is not as stiff as the ADs on Sport but not far off it. I would liken it to Volvo V70 or MB ML350.
Are there any drawbacks to the ADS system?
Although this system on paper is great, it does have its drawbacks. The system itself can be considered fragile when compared to other suspension components, and if anything is determined to be out of whack, the ADS light will turn on. This light will cause the suspension to either over or under compensate and ruin the overall ride quality.
How are adaptive suspension systems supposed to work?
How Do Adaptive Suspension Systems Work? A compressor fills these air springs via a reservoir to varying degrees: the more air that goes in, the higher the ride height.

Is the adaptive damping system on a Mercedes 500SL?
Adaptive Damping System (ADS) Hydraulic Suspension on a 1991 500SL… help… … Hi. I just received a 1991 500sl from Japan, it appears to have hydraulic suspension (extra reservoir under the hood, and an extra button next to the headlight switch). The car has no shock absorption whatsover – it appears to be riding on the springs.
What kind of resistors do I need for ads suspension?
Click to expand… Any generic resistors will do, you don’t need anything special. Just make sure the impedance and wattage values are correctly spec’d out and you should be good to go. What Alpine said. Hit up your local Radio Shack or hop online to find the right resistors.
