razzle asked:


My car is a 1991 Lincoln Mark VII LSC. The front and rear suspension is completely out. I know there are several things that could be wrong with it. I kind of just want to change out the whole suspension on both sides.

How would I do that? Or where could I look to figure it out?

Recently, the air ride suspension system in my 1990 Lincoln Town Car went out at the same time there was a leak in the power steering hose. Are these two systems related somehow? I have fixed the hole in the hose near the power steering pump, but the suspension seems dead in the water. Any suggestions?

R/R a rear solenoid is just about as easy as can be, unclip, turn, then turn again, with connector removed it just pops out. And replacing it is easy, well until I get to the part about (A) removing the air line, and (B) reinstalling it in the new solenoid. I have the brass fitting which slides over the white hard plastic line, but I have no idea how to get it back in the new solenoid….HELP!!!!

How do you check the air suspension? The warning light keeps coming on and a motor noise comes on when the car is not in use. Not sure if the 2 are connected.
