Air Suspension

Recommended Posts

The chassis on our coach is a 2002. Tiffin built the coach in 2003. I am sure the airbags are original. About 21,300 on the RV now.

Should I be worried? I will inspect the bags when I get the coach back from the install of a new drivers side windshield. If I see no obvious deterioration???

Because the air bags on your chassis are inboard where they are protected from UV light, it is likely that they will be OK, but yes, a good idea to check.

Also check RIDE HEIGHT, which is important, not only for ride and handling, but also longevity of suspension and driveline components.

You can get the ride height specs for your chassis by calling your chassis maker (?Freightliner?) with our VIN.

Adjustment is easy, but do not do it without proper safety stands!

Another, often neglected component of the air brake/air suspension system is the AIR DRYER. How long since it was serviced or replaced?

If you will be at the Madison FMCA Convention, come to the "Suspension, coach and handling" seminar. I will be going over a lot of this kind of stuff.
