hey everyone, just wondering how long a bag will last with it rubbing on the trailing arm. it only rubs when deflated and not very bad, i thought about relocating the bag that would invlove alot of custom fabrication such as a c notch and stuff to get it to sit as low as it does now, and on a 69 caddy a c nothc is a big job when the body is still atached. the bags are air lift bags. anybody have any idea these will last.? thanx
my buddie has the same problem on his caprice. its rubbing on the left front side, is already started leaking a little bit, so be might buy a new bag soon and get a shop to fix the placment of his bag or just cut the part thats rubbign off a little bit
Had the same problem with my Firestone 2600lb bags in the rear of my 61.I didnt want to make new brackets for the rear so I used Contitech 224c's with the offset holes on the bottom of the plate and it moved the bags 1 1/2" from the rearend.
well they dont rub when they are inflated so really they shouldnt be a problem since the street are to rough in this city ( edmonton Alberta Canada) to drive with it dropped. but i wil keep my eye on it and if they strta to show some serious wear marks i guess i will have to build new bracket....again......stupid cadillac
Try and put your 48 on a four wheel lift if you can,and lift and lower it.Check all the surrounding areas at different height levels.That is what I did at my buddies muffler shop.
