Air Height valves

Bruce, Not sure may be a Bendix, it looks just like the conneting rod
end on the linkage rod to a Holly Carb. When I bought my bus after a
serious going over we were on our way to the KOA to stay for a few days
so the PO could go over all the internal systems with us, on our way to
the KOA the wife was following us in the car and she noticed the bus
would raise and lower as we were traveling down the road. Oddly while
in the bus we did not notice any diffenence until we got to the KOA and
the left rear was sagging about 6". We raised the bus with the
levelers, slid a 12 ton under and crawled around, that's when we
noticed the rod just floping around, this was on a Sat afternoon in
Petosky MI, nothing open until Monday AM, ths was an oppurtunity to
give the bus a serious going over. At 9:00, Monday AM we went to
Carquest with the broken part in hand. The young lady asked how many
did we need, I asked how much & when she said $3 I got four, I replaced
the 2 in the rear and 1 on the front, I have a spare, total time of
repair 30 minutes for all three. We were on the road at 11:00 AM
heading home. When I got home I went to our local Carquest & they
didn't carry them but I found them at NAPA so I bought a few more to
share. I liked your story, it is ingenious & nerving how folks in
other parts of the world are willing to work on things & in conditions
when we here in America want to R&R and not take the time to diagnose
and repair.
