What should air bellows be during a pre-trip inspection?

During a pre-trip inspection, air bellows should be fully inflated and not damaged. This is crucial because properly inflated air bellows play a vital role in the suspension system of a vehicle, providing support and stability. When the air bellows are fully inflated, they effectively absorb shocks and maintain proper ride height, which is essential for safe handling and comfort while driving.

If the air bellows were only partially inflated, they would not be able to perform their job effectively, leading to compromised vehicle stability and increased wear on other suspension components. Having them completely deflated would hinder their ability to support the vehicle at all, making it unsafe to operate. Furthermore, overinflating them could lead to unnecessary stress on the materials, potentially causing damage or failure. Thus, ensuring that the air bellows are fully inflated and free from damage is a crucial part of maintaining vehicle safety and performance during your pre-trip inspection.
