Sagging right front - Scott Forman - 06-21-2008 05:13

The right front corner of my coach is low. When I measure the ride
heights, both sides of the rear are identical, but the right front is
about an inch lower than the left front.

I did a lot of work on my old FC air suspension, so I am pretty
familiar with the system. If the rear ride heights are equal, that
tells me that the rear height control valves (which also control
left/right leveling) are working properly. Since the front has only
one valve, I am at a loss for how it can be out of whack when the rear
isn't.

Suggestions?

Recycle the suspension a couple times and recheck. BB said the front (on the PT and might be the same for the FC) needs to be level. The '87 PT has one front leveling valve. To level the front, the rear could be off level (adjusted) and that is fine.

A couple of times I moved the coach some and bounce on the brake to get it equaled out. It's rare but has happened.
