    That one's getting a little pounded out. Gotta love the Airliner. Those bushings never last. On the plus side they're relatively quick and easy to replace.

    For all of you Columbia/Century owners. The reason that your airbags look "crooked" when you are looking at the back of your truck can be explained by the above picture.

    They improved the bushing corrosion resistance. What happens is that the inside of the bushing gets rusted out and it starts wearing out that way through the clearance enlarging. Then it loosens and goes to crap.

    The updated ones should have a green dot on them I think.
