Air suspension saga continues....

wrote:its the rear height control valves thats
causing the problem,or the linkage that hooks to the arm,sometimes
they slip,or bend,depends on the linkage,replace both rear height
control valves,never just one. heres something else to check,the
panhard bar bolts,this is the bar that locates the rearend from side
to side,if the bolts are worn or broken it aloows the bus to move to
the side of the rearend,and the bags on one side will inflate more
because of the misalignment.
