What could be the effect of a strongly leaking air bellows have on road worthiness?

The combination you selected is accurate. A strongly leaking air bellows can result in two main issues that compromise roadworthiness. First, the vehicle may tilt to one side, which affects its stability and handling, posing a danger to both the driver and other road users. Second, it can impair the brake action due to an incorrect control pressure in the automatic load-dependent braking force regulator (ALB). This means that the braking system may not apply the correct amount of force, increasing the risk of accidents.

Under German traffic laws, specifically § 29 StVZO (Road Traffic Licensing Regulations), vehicles must be in a roadworthy condition to ensure safety on the road. Any significant issue affecting stability or braking efficiency needs to be thoroughly addressed to comply with these regulations. This emphasizes the importance of recognizing all relevant factors in vehicle maintenance for safe operation.
