What happens here

Address the air ride system and check tire pressure. The air ride system had minor leaks causing the RV to sag, particularly the rear passenger side. Anti-seize compound is applied to air line fittings to prevent them from seizing up in the future. The Goodyear air bags are inflated to the correct pressure, and all tires, including a problematic tag axle tire with a slow leak, are aired up to their specified pressure. The lug nuts on the wheels are then tightened with a torque wrench to ensure they are secure.

Goal: Optimize ride quality and ensure tire safety
