Default Blown air bag

There are a couple of really rough bridges on southbound I-95 in Virginia between Kings Dominion and Ashland. While traveling at 70 mph, one of them caused a blown suspension airbag, right front. Wow, does that result in a rough ride! Fortunately, Ashland is like the RV capitol of the east coast, so we were able to hobble in there and the coach is presently undergoing repairs (front bags and a couple of tie rod ends that were noted in the process. I guess we're going to go ahead and replace the rear bags in the near future. Research tells us that those bags are typically good for ten years and/or 75 to 100k miles, so for a 2006 with 95k miles, that's just about right. It's one adventure after another out there.

Have them check your stabilizer bushings while there, it's an easy inexpensive fix that makes a ton of difference in handling. Thanks just did mine last fall and was amassed how much stabil the unit is, especially when large trucks pass!
