Jon,

There are many different air bag configurations. Some have a fixed bottom plate, some have a piston like mine. I don’t believe this is a failed airbag. For several reasons but the most obvious is that I have replaced the same bag multiple times with the problem recurring at the same place. The pictures that I used were taken and modified from a Firestone or Goodyear technical document.

This type of airbag has a rubber “stop” that is mounted to the top of the bag that prevents the piston from hitting the top of the bag. I will find the document and attach to this thread.

Forest,

I doubt Slime would fix this since the sealing joint is higher than the bottom of the bag. It would just run down to the bottom and not hit the sealing surface.

Thanks for the interest!
Bill
