Long story that I am not going to get into here. In a nutshell, the MBCA in
the late 1990s was very fragmented and run by a small group of people for their
own per$onal benefit. Some of us challenged them and in the process were
banned. I was one of

I still have an MBCA license plate frame that has been tastefully altered that
says MBCA across the top and Sucks across the bottom. The local chapter
folks have seen it and think it's a hoot.

Metal line connect everything from the leveling valve to the struts.
My struts definitely have rubber hoses going to them, it's almost
exactly analogous to a brake system. The struts shift position as
the suspension travels, so a hard line would be no good unless it

The struts provide no spring action, because there is no
energy storage medium inside (unless full of air, and it
went in at atmospheric pressure and would be compressed
to minuscule dimensions by the base pressure). The leak
holes in the strut's interior piston provide the bulk of
the damping,
another set of two NEW accumulators
If one goes 'flat' that doubles the pressure in the other one,
which will beat the crap out of it in no time. Hence equal pairs.
