georgeandlouise1 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 We have a 2007 Monaco Dynasty Countess 3 and want to change the rear air bags. We have Contitech 9 9 -12 and have ordered the replacements. We need the 3/4 to 1/4 push on air fitting reducer bushing. We have tried Napa but they don’t stock any and said they can’t order it. The picture shows my existing bushing that I will need to replace. Does anyone know where I can order replacements? I will appreciate help!

Hypoxia Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 You will probably just re-use the bushing since they require a 1 1/4" hole and Monaco supplied a 1 1/8" hole so you have to remove the bushing (1 1/8" Socket) to get the air spring out. All you need to buy are the 1/4" elbows since the easiest way to remove them is by snapping them off on some locations ( thank you HockeyDiesel) or just removing them on accessible locations. I used a 1 1/4" wrench and a crescent to remove the air line nut and 3/4" socket to remove the air spring nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RolandE Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 I ordered my brass bushings here for a Dynasty year 2003, I needed on all air springs these bushings. https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/69857 Roland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdw12345 Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 If you are close to a heavy truck dealer (Peterbilt, Kenworth, etc) they seem to have a fair assessment of fittings like that on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivylog Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 (edited) EBay but you shouldn’t need any. Edited October 3 by Ivylog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeandlouise1 Posted October 3 Author Share Posted October 3 Thanks but I need the bushing end to be 1/4 push on type so you can put the 1/4 inch rear air line hose into the fittings. Thanks again for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Generally any hardware store. You should be able to re-use those bushings though. You will need the 1/4" elbows from NAPA, any truck store, Parker store etc. similar to these 1/4" NPT elbow to 1/4" tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
