Smile blackwood air spring leak

my right side air suspension bag will not hold air.I see a wet spot the size of a quarter so it must be a hole versus a crack.Ford does not sell it,it cost to much anyway ($360).Can these be patched or bought anywhere.Monday going to call suncore & americansuspension.Any input would be appreciated.THANKS...mlhailey

So how much was the price difference with the dealer VS. American suspension & suncore?

I hear mi wood's compressor work only once a month, but, you never know... (knock on wood)

suncore or american suspension do not have parts,only lincoln does at $300 bucks.Idid not have to buy one though.My air line (@the air spring) was not fully seated at the factory and it was just laying there.Pushed it back in(quick connect)loosened the adjusting bolt on the lower end of the air suspension height sensor & adjusted it down & the air spring filled up.adjustd the sensor back where it was & I am back in business.The sensor is right by the rearend inspection cover.I do have a blackwood workshop manual.My windshield washer pump quit also.Sliped it out of tank soaked it in white vinegar ,reached in the pump & rotated the shaft with a small screwdriver(shaft was froze up).That saved me $40.My wife is happy again until the truck tanks again.It helps having a manual.Happy motoring..........dargel167
