    sealant in front airbags

    Am thinking of putting tyre sealant in my front airbags as budget cannot stretch to new ones at this time.I did it once on a p38 and it held for a while.Has anyone done this?Im looking at removing them,injecting "slime" or similar and replacing them.Any thoughts will be appreciated.

    I'm not sure how it will go, be interested to hear.

    Most leak through the swivel seals, unlike the rears (or P38) the top plate of the front bags rotates back and forth to allow for steering. This is the week link.

    What happens if the sealant gets back to your valve block? Air dryer?

    Air tank (skinny tubular thing) under right side sill,
    Front Valve behind (rear) right front wheel arch behind the plastic shield, and
    Air Sus. ECU behind left side dash end panel.
