Contitech airbags on sale

Noticed Contitech AS9448 are back in stock at finditparts. On sale for $95.22 before any discount code. They were hard to locate for the past couple months.  Firestone's were $165 each over the last few months. PS: Don't order from Chinese websites, ask me how I know.

Are these the bags for 1996 U320?
Do all Unicoaches use the same air bag?

A hint on shopping "finditparts".
Go look at all parts you are interested in. Maybe even put into cart.  Then back out.

You will get 15%, free shipping, offer. They will send you emails and text.  If allowed.
Yup lots of cookies.

Make it work for you. Remember the handling they add to every order.

It cost me $747.23 for 8 to zip 78801. In 2019.

I also ordered 8 for 695.53 a few days ago.  I figured I better get them now before they sell out.  They weren't available a month ago anywhere it seemed.  Good deal though.  A Quartzsite project!

Scott,  This model air spring (bag) fits my 2001, the 1995 I owned and my friend's 2003.  This model fits my tag axle but does not fit friend's 2003 tag because his is a lifting tag.

The price is excellent by a bunch.

So I ordered two bags to take a look at them. Will start changing them out as time allows .
So the new airbags have a plastic composite bottom. No corrosion issues, but just wondering if they are standard ?

The ones I bought were either Goodyear or Firestone and they had the plastic also.

The plastic is actually better. More like a phenolic material and won't rust like the original.

Continental Tire and Rubber does not make many mistakes. Besides the airbags, their fan belts were among the first not to stretch, excellent tires, fuel injection hose that lasted forever, etc. Great products.

Just replaced my original 24 yr. old Firestone air bags with these, no downside to which I can see. My old ones still looked pretty good considering there age, I'm sure they would have lasted a few more years. The ride with the new Contitech bags is great,  seems a bit tighter.  Glad I did it and hope they give good service like the Originals.

Doug that's an interesting comment.  I wonder if the bags have the same exact volume inside?  May or may not affect the ride quality...

I also wondered if they expand as tall as the original Firestones. Going to find out as I already bought 8 of them

No problem pulling out 11" safety supports after installing,  probably went another good inch above them when raising coach to max. Maybe even gained a little bit.

We ordered 8 for our coach which I think are the originals.
Now I need to find a tutorial to install them
