I have my coaching right now had the tag bushings replaced and also a tag bearing on the driver side and the wheel seals.. they had also called Newell to get the correct ride height adjustments. They are getting it aligned now.They have those and have it set to what Newell told them. they kind of thought the ride height control valves operated slowly. Is that normal being something different from more of a semi application that they would work on? My coaches 465 He said there was one ride height control valve in the front and one on each side in the rear buy a frame rail. Does anybody know what those part numbers would be on those?

Glad it’s helping. The air systems are somewhat unique on Newells. For any owner, it’s good to understand how the system works.

Willie you will be amazed how different your coach will drive with those tag axle bushings replaced. Also make sure to check the bearing and U joints on the steering column, Richard has a thread on correcting these issues and it changed my world driving our coach.

Weather permitting I’m picking it up tomorrow morning. They replaced the tag bushings and found tag wheel seals were damp and drivers side tag wheel bearing was shot. The torque rod was good.The also got it aligned to spec. J had noticed some free play in the steering wheel while parked over the winter
