Default airbags

hi,

as we inspected my coach, the two front axle airbags looked new. no cracking of any kind. same for the tag axle. the drive axle was another story. 3 of the 4 were cracked and looked ready to blow. one looked new.

my bus guy has lots of airbags for prevo's but mine used a bag that no one in the phoenix metro area had in stock. most online places didnt have them either. i did find a place that had 2 in two different locations. so i ordered them and they came friday. the drive axle one were Goodyear 1R11-066 or Firestone W013589477.

my bus guy leo came in special for me to put them in today. i know a few of you have done it yourselves, but after watching a guy who said he does at least one airbag a week, i wouldnt want to try it. he used a combination of the lift, huge jack stands and big air tools. he worked on all 4 at once. took him about 2 hours to do all 4.

one of the 4 he took off had a date code of november 2009 so i am keeping that as a spare. below are some of the pictures of the old bags....scary.
