Air Springs Replaced

[Jeff Miller]

I have to agree with Mike, not normal at all!

Could be airbag related, could also be the panhard bar bolts/bushings
or trailing-arm bushings seized, which would be dangerous, in fact
any abnormal noise in the front suspension could be a warning of an
unsafe condition.

If you can't identify the source, pay a heavy-truck / bus facility to
check it out, they should be able to diagnose it for under $50.
Fixing it on the other hand, ...

an assistant cycles the switch. I'd want to know if my bags were
getting pinched or not. That couldn't be good.
