description An accumulator is provided for a vehicle air system including a vehicle frame. A wheel end is spaced from the frame for supporting the vehicle frame on a roadway. A suspension assembly includes a suspension structure. The suspensi on structure may be a portion of an axle, a stabilizer bar, a control arm, or other suspension components. The suspension structure is interposed between the frame and the wheel end and is movable relative to the vehicle frame in response t o the wheel end receiving inputs from the roadway. A fluid chamber forms the accumulator and is defined by a portion of the suspension structure for storing pressurized air. Preferably a valve is disposed within the fluid chamber to protect the valve from the environment. For light vehicle applications where a conventional air pump may be cost prohibitive, a mechanical pump may be connected between the vehicle frame and the suspension assembly. The mechanical pump provides pressurized air to the fluid chamber in response to relative movement betwee n tree suspension assembly and the vehicle frame as the vehicle travels along the roadway.
