John,

There is evidence that the Pan hard was rubbing for some time on the pumpkin of the drive axle. There is also evidence that the bar was bent . There were 2 times I had lost a air bag, and continued to drive till a safe way could be found to exit the high way .

the bar only rides a few inches above the pumpkin and the loss of air on one side combined with the bouncing ,broke the bar . when we removed the bar there was clear evidence the bar had previous brakes but had not completely broke thru .

I believe the bar is a overlooked component of the suspension system and could easily have damage . It is located at the top of the drive axle and should be inspected . I would look for the bar to be bent or a smooth underside where it rides above the pumpkin ( Halloween ) is around the corner
