Need help finding violation/penalty info for Air Springs

Tip, sometimes with bags deflated, a sharp object could put an airleak into a dryrot cracked area, then would need changed.
Or stop at a set of scales and ask if one of the officers has time to inspect something, then it will show up on vehicle maintence and not against you, since its not your company.

To me, its time to change them.

How cheap is that company? Geeze airbags are like $100 each lmfao.

 

I agree those bags are tired. Change em.

 

There's no such thing as air springs.

If they don't leak. They're still good.

You'll learn in this business that boss's don't believe in spending money on preventive maintenance or repairs.

They have no choice with repairs. You'll just have to wait for a leak.

If it ain't broke. Don't fix it.

 

I’d rather replace them before they blow.

It’s not just a matter of putting off money, I really don’t want to be parked in the wrong spot along a busy highway, a construction zone with no shoulder and people zooming by at 80 mph.

Besides, I’m sure the mto in Ontario will consider that a need to be replaced as it’s cracked and ready to fail.

 

You'll know when they blow, it sounds just like a shotgun at an indoor range. Had one blow standing still as I was walking past it. I jumped a bit, then walked inside to schedule the replacement.
