[Fulltiming]

In response to your questions, Newell, at that time, used a suspension that was similar to those used in over the road trucks. If the air bags have not been changed out, it may be about time. Brakes, depending on wear, could need new pads and rotors or they could be fine. That coach has Rockwell ABS brakes (likely on the front and tag axle) with a Ridewell solid front suspension. That was the 3rd 1996 model coach Newell built. If it has been properly maintained and driven, the engine and transmission should have many miles left on them but getting an analysis done on the oil and transmission fluid would give you better insight into the condition of the engine and transmission IF the fluids haven't been changed recently. Both the engine and transmission are electronic so you should be able to get some data off the engine computer as to any error codes it has thrown. Most heavy truck repair facilities are familiar with that drive train.
