Hi all,

My 2 foot stack of manuals is missing the page that tells me what the front air leveling valve is. I know that their are two simular (same?)in the back, but the one up front is leaking badly. Can anyone tell me what part this should be? Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Our 88 FC has two height or leveling valves in the rear and one up front, This part works for us and is probably the same,

You may want to order a few PPV valves they leak around the housing, there are atleast two, or three or maybe four on your Bird.

Bill,

Thanks for the help, I purchased 3. Took about 1-1/2 hours to replace the valve up front, messy, but straight forward enough. A shop could probably get in done in an hour including paperwork if you handed them the part. Level height stayed the same and the bus will sit level overnight now. $30 each on ebay.

Regards, Don
