Plating Air bags and making air manifolds.

on most buses with airbags suspension the rear are isolated left and right, but the front are tied together both sides.  Otherwise you could end up with a twisted bus.

First if you have a leaking problem you need to fix that first.Your brakes work on air.Second if you replace the leveling valve you will solve the leaning problem. you will be safe and spend a lot less money.

Jim,

No apology necessary, it took me a long time to figure out that leveling valves don't level and that here was only one in front!! Even after I had read it in the manual a truck repairman had to explain it to me after he repaired a valve link and I complained the bus wasn't level when one wheel was sitting in a hole!

Those Lincoln air suspensions are a disaster once the car is a few years old. A rebuilt air suspension on the rear alone costs more than the book value of the car. I often see a saggy Lincoln sitting by the road with a "For Sale" sign on it.

I replaced the rear air shocks on my wife's '89 Cadillac Deville a few years ago. They weren't all that expensive, nothing like Lincolns, but a real pain to change. They aren't isolated, all they do is raise the rear when rear seats and trunk are loaded.
