Default Uas bag problems

So I got under my car today to do an inspection of my air setup and noticed both my rear air house two bags are cut. Both are getting sliced by the lower spring perch closest to the shock mount. Anyone else on uas have this problem? Good thing these bags are pretty cheap.

I've never ever had this problem.


















Because static.

Good point vegan but not really relevant is it?

Yes. Very relevant. If the bag is touching the perch the spring pocket, cut it down.

Problem solved.

You're welcome.

I don't think cutting it is the best first move. If cutting it was the answer then everyone running uas and randode would do it. I've never heard of anyone having to do that. Hopefully more people that are actually on air chime in with their experiences.

I like that idea. Might have to try repositioning the bag and protecting the edge.

You could also see how the bag is acting at full drop by jacking up the rear, placing boards under the rear tires, and airing the car out. This way you can still get under the car and see how everything is sitting. The lower cup may be plain too short.

I have the same issue and I fixed it, it worked for me!! I got 3/8 air line and cut it down the center on its side with the curve with a dremel. and used epoxy adhesive filled the air line with it and pushed it along the edge of spring perch and now when my bags rest on the perch the rest on the air line. I check them every so often and no issues I would post a picture but don't know how

That's what I need to do before the cuts get worse.
