Air Springs Replaced - popping sound revisited
I happened to think about another possibility Kurt. Are you hearing
this after using the front leveling jacks? On the '83-up the jacks will usually not swing up until the airbags begin to inflate/lift the coach, often they will swing up fast enough to hit the stop hard and make a fairly loud "pop" sound when they do. - Jeff Miller http://www.millercoachworks.com http://www.wanderlodge.net --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Kurt Achenbach" wrote: > > > When I drop the suspension and later reinflate, I hear a loud popping > noise coming from the front airbags----- this leads me to believe > they are getting pinched somehow during deflation?

Air Springs Replaced - popping sound revisited
Jeff, I certainly appreciate your thoughts.
It happens when I set the jacks to retract, before having some air in the bags. Then I heared a popping in one or two of the bags as the coach started to lift. This happend only a few times, after that, I changed the start up procedure. Now when the coach rests on the jacks I make sure the dump switch is off, I start the engine and let the air build up and after a few minutes I raise the jacks slowly, releasing the weight on to the filling bags. This way no mor popping. I keep the coach inside a garage and will check the issue on our next outing, which unfortunately will not be until early August. As allways thank you Kurt '38FC35SB in NH --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Jeff Miller" > I happened to think about another possibility Kurt.

Air Springs Replaced - popping sound revisited
Kurt,
I realize that procedure change, sometimes each year but for our '95, the instructions say to dump the air pressure completely before lowering the jacks and conversely, to be completely aired up before retracting the jacks. Trying to find strange sounds can be a problem, especially since they can be intermittent.

Air Springs Replaced - popping sound revisited
George I hear you, but on my '83FC35 the coach is to low with the
bags dumped, for the jacks to swing down properly.

Kurt,
I may be way off base with this, but I get popping sounds from the jack retracting springs. This frequently happens when they come up slowly.

That explains it - mine are straight acting jacks. Well, I tried.

Air Springs Replaced - popping sound revisited
Chet I don't know if this will apply to your coach but my 94 was making
noises until Randy Dupree told me that the foot plate was only held on my the two springs and that it rotated on the end of the hydraulic shaft. The shaft has the ball end and the plate has the socket. My socket/ball had rusted up a bit and everytime I used my jacks the socket/ball combination made rusted metal grinding together noise including pops, bangs etc.. I sprayed each socket with lubricant (PB Blaster) and I haven't had these noises since. Hope this helps. Rob Robinson 94 WLWB Original Message: ----------------- From: Chet Geist chetg@...

Air Springs Replaced - popping sound revisited
Thanks Rob, I'll keep that in mind when I get to reworking my jacks. They
are a little further down the list. On my jacks the small cylinder that extends the jacks pushes against a small bearing and they get all gunked up from road grim. Need to keep them cleaned and working for a smooth operating jack.

Air Springs Replaced - popping sound revisited
Thanks Chet,
I am familiar with the sound the jacks make. The noise I am talking about was like when a newly mounted tire popps in place on the rim.
