Today I decided to check the ride height on my freightliner chassis. I called Freightliner to get the ride height specifications and this evening I crawled under the RV for an inspection. What I found doesn't make sense. I assume each bag has it's own height adjustment. On my coach, a 34 foot '04 Journey, there is no adjustment mechanism for the right front bag. There is one for all the other corners, but not the right front. Anyone checked their coach for these adjusters? Is there supposed to be one on the right front? I don't have my manual, but it probably wouldn't say anything about this anyway. Freightliner is closed now for the weekend or I would call and ask them. Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

There is no height adjuster on the right side of my 32T. The left wheel adjuster controls the ride height in front. The rear wheels each have an adjuster.

Monte, thanks for the reply. So I guess my RV is OK. It just seemed to me that there wold be two up front. Now my problem is how to get the two front bags to the same height. The right is one half inch lower than the left. Maybe that is loading related.

CalTex,
We have the '03 34H Journey, there is only one in the front and two in the rear. On our unit, the fasteners that need to be loosened for adjustment were rusted frozen and needed to be replaced. The tech took nearly two hours to replace them and adjust our ride height. luckily, I had called Freightline to check this out and it was covered. Good luck,
Taglong
