Air bags

[BLACKMARAUDER04]

After 184,000 and the tens of thousands of pounds I have carried in the trunk, my Airbags have finally given out.

Luckily, the dealer several months ago said they were cracked and
would need service soon.
So back in November, I ordered Bags and Dryer from Suncore.
They had a sale at the time and saved an extra 10%

So I took in to the shop late Tuesday and picked it up this morning.

Of coarse this happened 2 days after the shop installed The Big Brake Kit.

I'm ready for Marauderville.

Because of the timing I have to wonder if they followed proper procedures when they did the brakes. You must turn of the suspension before lifting the vehicle or the system will vent trying to level the car. Then when the car is sat back down w/o air in the bags the bags can be pinched causing undue stress on them.

The best policy when taking your air suspension equipped car in for any service where they could concievably lift the car is to turn off the suspension yourself before handing over the keys.

I think mine are done too. 2 days in a row, suspension is deflated. Already replaced pump and level sensor some time back. Good timing actually. Next week I am replacing the Watts link and sway bar. Even if they are still working, it's time to do some preventative maintenance.
