Buy Airbags

Airbag Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

BUYING A USED AIRBAG IS SAFE?

Buying used airbags is absolutely fine and can be a good way to save money. However, it is important to know where and what type of airbag you are buying. The airbag supplier should be trustworthy and the airbags should have been inspected and should be undeployed.

DO AIRBAGS WORK AFTER 10 YEARS?

No matter how long you keep the car, your airbag won't degrade or need to be replaced. It used to be the case that airbags needed to be changed after 15 (or even 10) years, but that is no longer the case.

HOW MANY TIMES CAN AN AIRBAG BE USED?

Airbags are intended for one-time use. A mechanic can replace an airbag for you if it has deflated and needs to be replaced.

HOW FAST DOES AN AIRBAG EXPLODE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL?

In less than 1/20th of a second, or in the blink of an eye, the inflator's igniter ignites a chemical reaction that creates a harmless gas and inflates the airbag.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR AIRBAG IS BAD?

The air compressor operating often, a bouncy or bumpy ride, the rear feeling loose or spongy, and drooping on one side are all typical symptoms.

CAN I INSTALL A USED AIRBAG MODULE?

A used airbag module will cost less than a new one, but it will still require reprogramming. This is due to the fact that each new or old module you place inside your car needs to be programmed to your VIN.

CAN I INSTALL THE AIRBAG ON MY OWN?

Airbags cannot be installed on your own. Airbags are quite sophisticated. They deploy depending on a specified degree of force and are intended to move in a specific direction. They might not operate at all if you attempt to install them yourself. Additionally, they might not function correctly if they do activate.

ARE YOUR AIRBAGS USED?

Since some of our airbags are from donor automobiles, we do market them as used. However, as part of our ownership inspection procedure, every component is tested to make sure it is in its original state.

ARE YOUR AIRBAGS REMANUFACTURED?

No, we don't change or fix any of the airbags' components. They were brand new when you purchased them and are identical to what was in your car. Since the airbags we sell are from the same year as the ones in your car, they are both used and undeployed.

DO I HAVE TO REPLACE MY FRONT IMPACT SENSORS?

Everything is dependent on how severe the collision is. The front impact sensors are, however, often reusable unless they are physically damaged or the cable connected to them has a metal ridge. All airbag components may be replaced, and if the sensor code light is still flashing, you can check the wiring for continuity or, if necessary, replace the sensor. However, you can usually repurpose the impact sensor.

IS THE CONTROL MODULE INCLUDED WITH MY PURCHASE?

The airbag control module is not included in the price of any airbag, as is the case with the majority of businesses, and all parts are sold separately.

ARE YOUR AIRBAGS OEM?

Yes, all the airbags we sell are OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturer ).

WHY IS MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON OR FLASHING?

A flashing airbag warning light means there is a serious issue with the SRS system, therefore you should have it fixed right away.
