Air Suspension Will Not Inflate - dspithaler@... - 11-04-2007 09:55
Juergen The only ones on here that I knew replaced there air
bag's was Jeff & Gary Miller & I think one of them did it in a parking lot on
the road. I'll do some searching to see if I can come up with any info. I
think you just have to support the frame. I would think the levelers & two 20
ton
jack stands.

Ernie and Ralph have replaced an air bag. I am sure they will chime

Don, that was Gary Miller who did the on-the-road repair.

Air Suspension Will Not Inflate - Ralph L. Fullenwider - 11-05-2007 01:47
Hi Juergen:
The front air springs <bags> on a PT or SP are not hard to replace it is
the rear that is tough. It is also the FC that front air bags are a PITA on
the drivers side.
Have you noticed if the drivers rear is down at the same time the front has
dippped? There is only one ride height valve on the front axle it controls
up and down only. There are 2 ride height valves in the rear. Those control
not only up and down but side to side height of the coach. My point is, it
may well be the rear that needs looking at rather than the front.
Safe travels,
Ralph and Charolette Fullenwider
