Air Bag Replacement

[dru penland]

Chris,

I have the same model and did that aweful of replacing every bag on the coach
a couple of months ago. The front bags are part #8992 and the rear part # 9039
on mine. The rears are noteable larger than the front. Don't no much about the
repair cost you are asking about, but low three digit figures for anything
sounds better than thousands. Not replaced one of those yet, but they don't look
too difficult.

Took the bus to the shop to have some air and brake repairs done. Bus
leans to one side and can hear air leaking, more like spewing out from
the rear wheel area. I have an extra air bag but the shop guy thinks
it is for the front. Are the front and rear bags different? I am also
having one of the rear brake chambers replaced..when I apply the brake
it blows air all over the ground. Real fun drive over to the shop in
the rain having to use the Jake brake to slow down then use parking
brake to hold bus at stop lights!!! Also learned that anti lock brakes
were not standard equipment on 83 Wanderlodges....It sure does like to
slide on wet roads when you have to slam on the brakes~!~ Very scary
drive I must say ( I know I should not joke about something as serious
as almost rear ending a Cadillac with a bus )....will be nice to have
proper working brakes and a level riding coach. He wants to charge
$150.00 to replace the brake chamber..does that sound right? He will
also adjust everything else...sounds fair to me....
