Question:
I purchased the firestone riderite air bags for my 2020 Chevy silverado 2500hd. One of the bags failed. At the top their is a secondary hole across from the filler port. There is a plug that fell inside. Can this be repaired?

Hey Christina, thanks for reaching out. No, I wouldn't recommend trying to repair the Firestone Ride-Rite air spring if the threaded plug at the top has fallen inside the bag. That plug is part of the air spring's pressure seal, and attempting to reinstall it with sealant or another makeshift repair could result in another air leak or failure.
Your best option here will be to replace the failed air bag. I see you got the Firestone # F2613 kit from us last year. The correct replacement air spring for that kit is the following:

What happened that caused your air bag to fail? Was it some kind of defect do you think?

Is there any warranty on this? I dont understand why an alignment plug would fail or why it is even in the position to fail?
