Hendrickson Zero Maintenance Damping Air bag

[Rawze]

I have the Hendrickson Airtek front suspension on my prostar. -- ABSOLUTELY HATE THE FU#KER!!!.

Nothing but problems with the air bags, leveling valves, and all the rubber bushings make it impossible to maintain front-end alignment. It is also a complete pain in the arsse that is nothing but in the way for servicing the oil filter that you can barely get off the engine. That is ONLY if the air bags are at full height. If the air bags bleed down even a little bit, you are NOT going to get that oil filter off the engine at all. The suspension system is also in the way for removing the oil pan. You have to disassemble the cross-members to get the pan off, or to even drop it down a bit. It also puts my front-end overweight bobtail and I can't stand that. My front-end has a shorter tire life because of the extra weight and all those damn rubber bushings and cross-shafts instead of having something rigid like leaf springs.

Don't know about the rear suspension systems they make or what they have for trailers, but I would never recommend their front-end suspension system for anyone.
