On the week prior to Christmas I had a set of Polyairs fitted to my NH Pajero. I was initially happy with them and they certainly improved the blance when towing a Jayco Swan outback.
However, on my way back up the Clyde mountain, returning to
Canberra, one of the bags failed. It sounded like a gun shot had been fired near bye. I was running 20 psi at the time, so with one side up and one completely down, the handling was diabolical. Unfortunately we were in thick fog and couldn't stop until we got to a clear area on the top of the mountain.
The company that orginally fitted the Polyairs were very good in organising a warranty replacement and advised that they would obtain more heat shield matierial to prevent the heat from the exhaust causing further failures. I hope they are right.
I have not seen any reports of similar failures on the various forums. Is anyone else aware of similar problems and any suggested remedies
