Nice Ride

Yahoo Message Number: 69126
Here is some follow up to my previous questions.
I had both front Goodyear tires (45,000 miles-severe wear on both edges along with cupping) replaced with Michelins Replaced both OGM Koni Shocks with Koni Reds adjustable set to max. One of the originals lost the oil and could be slid in and out like a trombone.
Set the front tire pressure to 110 lbs Checked the alignment but adjustment was not necessary.
Lubed 8 places in the front end.

I drove 160 miles today to Hudson FL to have my foggy window repaired half of it on local highways. Significant improvement in the oscillations of the air suspension. Little vibration at 35 MPH gone. Squeaking rubber sound gone. Smoother softer ride at 110 lbs compared to 120 lbs.
I hit a few moderate bumps and no bottoming but nothing severe yet. I suspect there will be at least some improvement now.
I want to thank everyone who contributes knowledge, and experience on this list. Your help is invaluable.

PS several CCs at Suncoast Design for foggy window repair but many other brands too.

John,

Just for referrence, do you know how much wieght you have on the front wheels? Just wondering. I have nver tried running my fronts at 110 even though the tables say that I could. I have pulled over at the truck wiegh stationson the freeway at night when they are not in operation to see what my scale weight is on each axel.

Dallas,

I don't have the numbers in front of me but they were a little less than 6500 per wheel.
