Deflated bags

Rick,

Yep I fully inflated them before I put the Caravan on then deflated them till I was happy with the level (checked 15psi).

They maintained 5psi for 12 months without being pinched so thanks for the reply but I don't think that is the problem.

Yes I have inflated them since I came Home and yes they went down very slowly, too slow to hear any air escaping from them.

Any Ideas
Thanks
Regards

I had the same problem with one of mine, then after I replaced my shocks and springs the other one did the same thing so I had to fix that too. I found it was a dogdy installation that caused mine to go wrong. I would have hit the wnker but it was me who installed them, so I guess I'll just have to deal with that!! LOL.

Mine were leaking in the brass fitting in the bottom of the air bags themselves. What I did was take the spring out, remove the air bag and pull the air line with a pair of pliers. You'll find that the airline doesn't normally come out, the whole friggin brass fittings does!! If the air line comes out, no worries, just get the pliers onto the brass fitting it'self and pull that out. Then get some epoxy (arildite or whatever) and mix it up and put it all around the fitting and the inside of the bottom of the bag where it slots into, then insert the fitting and let it set for 5 min. Then if the hose came out, just click that back in, whack the bag and spring back in and HEY PRESTO! Your problem with most likely be solved!

This method seems to hold up well, I've done many of k's of some pretty harsh fully loaded off road and corrugation driving with the air bags at 35psi since I fixed them and they are holding on so far.
