Makalu Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Anyone know what air bags are on the coach mentioned in the title? I have one that is slowly leaking and I think it's time to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbo777 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 On my 2007 Nav, which I would assume to be the same, the front bags are W01-358-8897 with 3/4" inlet. Rear are W01-358-9376 with 1/4" inlet. Firestone numbers, some folks use all 8897 with a bushing in the rear bags. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vito.a Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 The air bag part numbers are on the bottom. You can't see them unless you remove the bag. Are you certain the bag is leaking and not the fitting or air tubing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you certain the bag is leaking and not the fitting or air tubing? I am sure. I can feel the air leak at the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads Dog House Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 On my 2006 Beaver Thunder 10 bag chassis I used the Conti-Tech As 8897 with the 3/4 entry hole, then on the reducer bushings I used part number 69857 brass reducer bushings to get down to the 1/4 size for the air line 90 degree fittings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve My 06 Navigator has bigger air hose going to the front bags. I think 3/4" (can't remember for sure). I also used the coni tech bags for all of my locations and the reducer on the back bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to verify with other sources I've seen. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willbo777 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 From what I understand the front bags need the 3/4" inlet to allow the ping tank to work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2004 Executive I used Firestone W013589376 on the 4 front bags and like it with the 1/4" inlet. DaBus seems more stable in the front. It might ride a little Rafferty depending on the road! 8 hours ago, willbo777 said: From what I understand the front bags need the 3/4" inlet to allow the ping tank to work properly. I have about 8k miles on the new bags going from AZ to WI, then AZ to Reno with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makalu Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 I purchased the AS9376 for the rears. Should be delivered next week and I'll see just how easy it is to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makalu Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Is there any reason I can't dump all the air in the system, pull the air line and cap it. Then remove the nuts from the bag. Then air the system back up (because the disconnected air line is capped) and then take the air bag out? Then reverse this order to reinstall the new bag? In my head this seems logical. Perhaps I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
