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?

Bri asked:


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?

dom2please asked:


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!!!!

Dark Angel asked:


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.

Jordin asked:


Is it wrong of me to be mad at my mechanic for taking almost 6 months to fix the air bag suspension on my truck? I mean first i payed for him to fix the hose, then i paid for the compressor and then i paid for the air bags. And it still isn’t fixed everytime he gives it back to me it only last for one day. Can i do somethng so that he can give me my money back? I’ve paid him over $1000 dollars!!

I have 3 wheels working fine but the front passenger air bag leaks. Can I replace mine with one off a 1999 Navigator? Any suggestions? I have replaced the pump ad made manual switch. Has anyone done this and share experience.

Carlos D asked:


I have a 1999 Lincoln towncar which is equipt with rear air suspension. Everything works fine but the only thing is that when my car loaded on the rear the car supose to rise on its on. Most likely it must have some kind of pump or motorised motor that would control that. Where would that be and what is it called?

advait0 asked:


Own a 2001 Lincoln Ls. I asked a question earlier about road bumpiness and got the answer it could be air suspension, shocks, or struts.

Is there any way to know what it is? How can I check the air suspension myself by just a look and see if anything major is broke?

The only thing is I read other people’s questions, and the car does not really bounce when I push on it just doing the simple push test, the back didnt bounce at all, the front did bounce twice (Is that too much?) So it could be totally broke on back, or it could be alright right?

When I go over bumps I feel all the bumps, but my car does not bounce. Not able to tell if the car is lower than it should be or not.

Before going to mechanic, any tips on what I can look at and test myself?

I already know from reading other questions air suspension is very expensive like 1800 to fix and all..
I went before to have a Firestone inspection after buying the vehicle, and they said it was in great mechanical condition just needed back tires.

Had the tires replaced at Sam’s Club with Goodyear Tires. Told them to look at alignment.

Neither place said noticed any problem with air suspension, but then maybe its something you have to look for?
