Does anybody know who is the manufacturer for the bags? A friend told me that he thought it was Monarch. I can't find specifics on them to inquire & order.

Any info, web site or phone # is appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

I had Firestone originals on my ex-NJT '87 MC9. Replaced drive (4) and steering axles (2) with Goodyears purchased from Luke @ US coach. Not a major job to replace. The older "airbeam" style airbags are a good bit more work to replace. On airbeams, check to be certain where your leaks are before pulling parts off.

Thanks for the info all. I ordered a number of parts from MCI earlier today. The Airbags are on sale at MCI parts, and my Corp discount allowed me another huge percentage off of that.

What was the MCI sale price, Eric?

I purchased 8 complete bag sets with all housing & bolts for $80.oo some odd bucks each.

Thanks to DC Trails Bus Repair & Towing, one is able to get repairs made PROMPTLY and affordably. Located in Lorton, VA if anyone ever needs repair work done in that area.
