Thread: D2 SLS Questions

Classic bag failure behaviour.

The lower part of the bag where it rolls over gets fractured/ stressed and abraided, then leaks. Sometimes the stress points hold air sometimes they dont. One bag goes down (sometimes its both) and then the SLABS ECU compensates for level by lowering the other until you hit the stops.

Since fitting my new bags I have made a habit of raising the truck to off road height when i wash it down and give that area a good rinse. This just keeps a bit less abrasive rubbish for the bag to roll over.

Dont worry you havnt bought bags prematurely

cheers

Thanks for that, now I hope the Paddocks ones are the good un's

Funny thing is,, just installed my second set, so you'd think I'd have some idea if the Trelleborg bags Paddocks supply would be ok,,
but seeing as the the last set were in the car for only 48 hours before it was written off, and these ones have only been in for 48 hours--
I'm still wondering

Well, I have had one in for a week, and no problems so far.

Oh, and the new shockers that I put in at the same time - MMMMmmmmm

About 12 months since I changed mine, Paddocks' Dunlop jobs and 10,000km (4000km heavy and off road)
Happy camper. Very confident with these, not like those other things from the US.

cheers

I did read not to get the Yankee bags but the car hasn't dropped since Tuesday

Mind you the new ones should be here this Tuesday, more work to do, spent the day rewiring the winch and spotlights after the panel shop had fixed it.

Just a fussy bugger when it comes to this area

HOWEVER,

For the last fortnight the car will sink to the bump stops over night, and each morning when I start it it rises to the correct height....This is why I ordered the bags,

BUT

the car sat in the carport for Friday, Saturday and Sunday and didn't go down at all, still at the correct height Sunday evening, then Monday (car hasn't moved or been driven) it was back on the bump stops WTF....
Monday night didn't go down However Tuesday night it did and this morning (Wednesday night) it stayed up again........... The car parks in roughly the same spot each night give or take a few inches

The bags should be here soon and hopefully this will all stop,

I know there are many threads on SLS however I didn't see any with the SLS faulting intermittently in this way

Mines started doing this while I was in Kalbarri a few weeks ago. Put it down to Murchison gravel getting into the roll seal but lifted it up and nothing.
Would drop down then after starting it and letting it raise back up, would stay there with no problems at all.
Have sprayed the bags but can't see any bubbles at all.
Always wondered if something like Holts Tyreweld would work temporarily.........

Wonder why no ones come up with silicone rubber bags yet?????

Cheers

Sent from my backyard TeePee using smoke signals.

Grrrrr, still hasn't gone down

Good news though got the new bags now but SWMBO is a little cranky oh well better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
