I have changed out the front airbags (W01-358-9447). The main portion of the bags were OK except near the top and where they fold over at the bottom. The bottom is where the main weaknesses were. The right front bag had the rubber crumbling off if rubbed by hand. The others were cracked and checked at that location.
There was a "BUMPER DATE" on the tag on the top with a -92 on it which may mean the bags were original to the coach. That is pretty darn good for a rubber part. The rear bags look good so they probaby have been replaced once.
IT took about 8 weeks to get the new bags, factory delay with the rubber sleeves was blamed. I plan to save a couple old bags in case someone is on the road and can't find a new one. Ordinarily, Truck Spring in Saginaw, MI stocks these. They had one in stock when I called to get 4.
