1989 Toyota Coaster Bus!

Postby solitaire » Sun Mar 23, 2008 9:36 pm

Hiya, No its not mine :lol:

My Step dad owns one and its bum is sagging a little bit and the ride is not as crisp as when he got it. It has airbag suspension.

My question is... is it possible for airbag suspension to partically fail? i thought if it failed it would drop onto the bump stops, not sag. Educate me please chaps? Googled the hell out of it and i get is lots of rice airbag install places and a couple of patents.

Ps. any idea where it would get fixed?

Thanks Ladies/Gents :D

I know with the Soarer/Celsior suspension etc, the bags can and do leak which affects the ride, but you usually notice it's on the stops in the mornings and the compressor is running more than usual.

I imagine it's more the domain of the Truck/Coach workshops than anyone else
