Alignment specs on rear differential w/adjustable draglinks. Previous owner installed new draglinks without
Measuring or Adjusting to length of old ones So motorcoach is doglegging so bad its scary to drive. I will be putting a safety plus on steer &replacing shocks to Koni but would like to fix doglegging i took pics of chassis but dont know how to submit sorry
Suspension drag links
Re: Suspension drag links
Can you post a photo? I don't really understand how drag links could be used on this. My 97 Ivory with Magnum chassis and Velvet ride doesn't really have any way to change the alignment of the rear axle. It would have to be somehow damaged to track crooked.

Here's what he was trying to post. Not sure why it went email versus posting here though. Maybe because I'm an admin?

Re: Suspension drag links
Measure from a given point in the front of the coach dead center side to side to a given point at each rear wheel.
With the adjustables, should not be that difficult.
Shorten the longer one/lengthen the shorter one until both links are approximately the same length (as close as you can get them).

Re: Suspension drag links
Mark,
I see an air bag in your photo . If you have the right air bag system it is refered to as the "B" lin suspension in my 99 Continental owner's manual. There is also a suspension with appears to only use two air bags on the drive axle. It is refered to as the S series "Blue Steak" with air suspension. I assume they used the same suspensions on several of the models other than the Continental.
Hope that helps.

Re: Suspension drag links
Darned auto correct. It should say eight air bag suspension, not right air bag suspension.
