Front ride-height sensor linkage -- Unihome

I've attached a couple of pics showing the orientation of the front linkage as I installed it. I'd had to replace the pieces due to a tow company snapping off the curved anchor stud (long story).

Anyway, because I was not certain how it was supposed to look - I chose the most logical way when I bought the new kit and looked at angles, range of motion, etc.

I have shown how the linkage is positioned with the Coach suspension sitting on 8" tall 4X4 blocks (also pictured).

If one of you with a U300 Unihome could take a peek under the front of yours and confirm this linkage orientation -- I'd really appreciate it.

All the best out there,

Michael

Nope.  The arm coming off the valve needs to be horizontal when at ride height.  The link that is connected to the suspension should go vertical.  It should have the same configuration as the valves on the rear.  And if IRC, you also need to make sure valve hub in the right orientation (two options, 180 degrees apart) so that the valve fills the air bags if the coach drops.
Attached photo was taken at the axle looking forward.
