Truck does not have any air leak anywhere other than the air noise from the leveling valve whole fork lift entering and editing.
I did not hear the air compressor running nonstop while loading or unloading however I did notice while driving my air psi floats from 110-120psi... I changed the air Governor today. -
I could be wrong you know. I have not done many of those trucks since about that year model.
They would sit down on the saddles if all the air leaked out of the bags. The cross member above the joint looks really wrong to me. That could change with wheel base but they still should not contact. Never recall axle contacting frame during normal use.
Does anyone else have one of these with different brackets as his picture?newdriver2, 062 and Johny41 Thank this. -
Curious if a bad Leaf spring or... Something is out of wack. Alignment ?
There is a local place here that can re-bends the springs -
Torque arms are easy to replace. Don’t pay anyone to change them. Each torque arm is held by 4 bolts. There are two torque arms, one above each drive axle. There is another torque arm under the cab. You may need a flat pry bar to put it back together. Torque the bolts to at least 90 ft. lbs. Then re-torque them again after a full day of driving.Last edited: Apr 18, 2019

Sure looks like air bags are too low judging by the amount of tire above the frame.. ps grease your driveline
BoxCarKidd, newdriver2 and PE_T Thank this. -
Correct part number for your vin?
How old are they?newdriver2 and PE_T Thank this. -
I had this problem with my last volvo truck while driving heavy I heard the yoke rubbing against crossmember. This one has different u shape ,higher , aluminium crossmember . I dont remember was the carrier bearing or the air springs were leaking.
Btw I don't think you can RE torque z springs, they are solid 1 inch thick and torque leaf. They are cheap, about 200$ for Z and 100$ leaf. I replaced all 8 and u bolts 2 weeks ago, for about 2800cadanian$. The only bushing is on torque leaf, they wear in time and i found this leaf cracked hard to see, I took high resolution photos from under and examine photo.
Perhaps worn or missing sliding pads inside spring hanger can cause this, hope is not the frame bent or twisted,look from behind along frame for waves. That section behind cab is most exposed to fatigue.Last edited: Apr 18, 2019
