Looking for best deals on air bags and shocks for the MCI9.

What did you pay?

Thanks

Grant

Its not an MCI but FWIW $3,036.99 (loony bux) for 10 bags and 10 shocks for my '81 Prevost, almost exactly a year ago now and straight from Prevost Parts in La Belle Province.

Don't rule out the manufacturers as a parts source - I checked around and that was a pretty good price at the time.

I replaced my shocks last winter and payed $55 - $65 depending on witch axle, They were Monro and I got them at the local truck shop, I also replaced 1 tag axle airbag and payed $135.00 at same truck garage. This summer I had to replace one on the drive axle, the truck shop couldn't cross it over so I got one from IBP and payed $260.00 for the bag, rings, & bolts. After I got the bag I took it to the truck shop so we could cross it over and found one for $160.00 for every thing. At least now we know witch bag will work for drive axle. Hope this helps. Jason.

Hello Grant
I JUST REPLACED ALL 4 FRONT AIR BAGS ON MINE, I USED THE KIT FROM MOHAWK VERY HAPPY WITH THEM.

Four bags on the front, how much for the total package? Did you end up with more costs that you didn't think about?

Sorry for the delay on getting back with you. My total cost from Mohawk $153.56 ea.(x4= $614.24). The only thing (I think so far $:-\$ ) that I missed is the bump stops were both shot (next project) . Grant also I found using a die grinder with a small cut off wheel to cut through the retaining nuts at about a 45 degree angle will enable you to clean the threads of debris as you remove the nut this worked well for me on the top bolts,the bottom bolts came off easy with zep-45, or equal . Don't forget the safety glasses,and face shield,dust mask ,and most of all cross block up the bus .
Hope this helps Grant
