Hi Donn Welcome aboard

These suspensions survived a lot of abuse when the Eagles were in commercial service. That said, the pars are getting pretty old and some folks have experienced Torsilastic tube failures. I would like to see some pictures of the Torsilastics to see if we can figure out what happened.

There are two threads that should help you think about what is needed to put air suspension on the drive axles of an Eagle:

Lets start there and see what we can do to help you.

I had lost the drawings for my build. They are found again.
