Air Height valves

[pattypape]

Hi Bruce,

I posted yesterday ,but it disappeared, so this may be a double post.
The Swivel that John McGinnis is referring to is a NAPA 732-1400,
1/4 28 thread. It screws onto the top of the adjusting rod. At the
bottom of the rod is the adjustment , a fixed swivel attached to a
bracket on the main axle, this I believe is the harder to locate
item.

Sorry I am late, & Hope this helps,
