Navigator Air Suspension System Seal Leak

If your lincoln navigator air ride system is leaking down, make sure you find the leak before buying parts. Many people think if there air suspension is going down, it means they need a new air spring, solenoid, or compressor. Which is sometimes the case, but often it could be just a leaky seal. It is important that you check for leaks, a good way of doing this is cover the system in soapy water, to make the leak visible. Once you do this you may notice that it is coming from an air line or air bag. If thats the case you will now know what to replace. But if you dont notice any leaks, it could be a very slow seal leak. And if it is your air bag, you can either spend lods on an air suspension system, or you could buy a much cheaper and more reliable air suspension conversion kits.

Solenoid to Air Spring Seals

On an air ride system there are solenoids that go into each air spring. These solenoids are what control the release of air from the air spring. There are a few small seals on these solenoids, that often will be the cause of a leak. If you suspect its these seals try to put some soapy water around them and watch very closely. It may be leaking to slow to see. But if you cant find a leak anywhere else, it would be a good idea to replace the seals, as seal sets are only about $10-$12 for each solenoid. A slow leak from one of these seals could eventually cause your compressor to go out.

Replacing Air Spring Solenoid Seals

When you replace these seals, the ones that leak are usually the two that between the solenoid and the air spring. But you should also go ahead and replace the seal that goes between the solenoid and the line as well. That seal is included with most seal kits anyways. It is especially important to replace these seals anytime that you remove the solenoid. As the seals can go out even if the solenoid has not been removed. But once it has been removed they will never seal up right, it will leak every time.

If you’re reading this, then the air suspension system on your Ford Explorer has finally failed and you need a cost effective solution to get that new car ride again and get your Ford Explorer back on the road fast.

I was in your shoes more than 10 years ago and I scrambled to find a way to get my luxury car riding like new again without breaking the bank in the process. Unfortunately, the only option I had was to pay a fortune to a dealership to fix my air suspension. I was outraged…so I searched for a solution to solve my air suspension problems for good.

Ford Explorer Air Suspension Fails. Here’s why…

The Ford Explorer air suspension system is subject to many problems, but it’s biggest enemy is time. The air springs are made from rubber components which dry-rot in 5 to 7 years.

The Ford Explorer air suspension’s longevity is determined by how much extreme heat and cold the Ford Explorer is subjected to. These extreme conditions degrade the components of the air suspension system. Many times the electronic devices (modules and sensors) begin to fail with age as well. This compounds the suspension problems related to the Ford Explorer air suspension system.

…And it’s only a matter of time before these factory air suspension parts you have begin to fail.

Also overlooked many times on the Ford Explorer is the condition of the front suspension. In the same span of time, the Explorer front suspension is subject to extreme wear and the poor shock and spring quality will make it difficult to properly align the vehicle and this causes excessive wear to the front tires and eventually eliminates the great ride you deserve as a Ford Explorer owner.

Lincoln Town Car Air Suspension Review

admin — Mon, 11 May 2009 01:55:53 +0000

The Lincoln Town Cars air suspension uses an air compressor located under the drivers side fender. Lines run from here to the air bags. There is an electric relief valve on the top of each air bag, that allows air to be exhausted. It senses the amount of air pressure in each air bag, to keep both sides equal. There is a leveling sensor that controls these valves. This leveling sensor is a movable arm that will be moved up if the rear of the car goes down. As it goes up it will activate the air compressor, which will fill the bags to level the car. It will also allow air to escape from the bags if the rear of the car is high.

Sensor for Air Bag Spring Lincoln Town Car

Here are just a few of the problems you might experience with your 1998 lincoln town car air suspension.

1. The back of your car is low and the air suspension light is on. Check your fuse first. If its not the fuse check the air suspension switch in your truck, and make sure it is on.

2. You took it in for service and it was put on a lift or jacked up. And now the bags are full, and the car rides rough. Well you should have shut the switch in the trunk off before lifting the car. Now you will need to bleed the air out of each bag manual and reset your system.

3. You suspension is all the way down. This could be caused by a leaking or stuck valve or a leaking air bag. If it is a leaking airbag, they will all go down, as the car attempts to level itself. So you will need to watch for the one that goes down first as that should be the one with the leak.

4. Your car goes down overnight, but comes up when started. This could be something electronic or could be a leaking bag. Which will soon cause the compressor to go out.

If you experience these air system problems you have a few mechanical options. You can either opt for the costly air suspension replacement, or you can go with the quality coil system that will not break. We at Air Suspension Reviews recommend the coil spring system. Otherwise you will be spending lots of money to replace your air suspension system that will likely break again. More info on lincolns: 98 lincoln navigator air suspension.
