Lincoln Town Car Air Suspension Conversion Kit

Just wanted to share another air suspension conversion kit install gone well. My Town Car is a 2005, so I was quite shocked when the rear air springs started deflating over night. I had a 1999 Town Car Before that did the same thing, after replacing the seals and the rear air springs, I found the compressor was also bad; so I installed an air suspension conversion kit on my 99, and was very happy with it. I could not tell a difference in the ride, and the reliability in the coil springs, gave me alot more confidence in my other wise trusty towncar.

Now I was back in the same situation with my 05, so this time instead of wasting the money and time on air springs, seals, etc. I immediately bought an air suspension conversion kit. The install was just as easy as it was on my 1999. Now my Town Car is back on the road, and I dont have to worry about it leaving my wife and kids stranded. A coil spring conversion cost about $350, which is far cheaper than air springs and a compressor.

Lincoln Navigator Air Suspension Conversion Kits

I just got finished installing one of these air suspension conversion kits on my 2002 Lincoln Navigator. I replaced the airbag seals first, after reading an article on this site that explains this common problem. After I replaced the air bag seals though, I found my compressor was also bad.

At this point, I decided to go with a coil spring conversion kit, as I felt the air suspension was not worth the agrivation. I was also worried that if I didn’t I may end up spending more than coil spring conversion kit costs, to get my air suspension system working. I got my coil spring conversion kit (without shocks) for less than $500.

The air suspension conversion kit shipped fast and was packaged well. Installation was easy, I am no professional and I did it by myself in a couple hours, and I was taking my time. Now my Navigator is back on the road. It rides great, I am not sure I can tell any differance in the ride.

Coil spring conversion kits are a great solution to all air suspension problems. These conversion kits will fix any air suspension problem for good. How is this possible? A coil spring kit will completely replace your current air suspension system, therefore any air suspension problem will be eliminated when you install the coil spring kit. Also coil springs are far more reliable that air springs, and require no maintenance.

I first found out about these kits when my sisters 93 Lincoln Mark VIII rear bags failed. She asked me to have a look at it, to see if I could find the problem. After jacking the rear of the mark 8 up, allowing the bags to fully extend, I found that the bags were cracked and worn, causing them to leak. So I started doing some research and found that this was a common problem amongst Mark VIII owners. I talked to a man who had the same problem with his 94 Mark VIII, when he put his new bags in he found that his compressor was also bad from being overworked. This seemed to be a pretty common problem with other Mark VIII owners on forums and blogs.

The best solution I could find on these forums and blogs was to install a coil spring conversion kit. So I browsed around a few places, searching for one of these coil kits at an affordable price. I found one place that sells them for less than $400. I ordered my kit from there, it shipped fast, and they were good quality parts. For information on were I ordered it Click Here.

03-06 Lincoln Navigator Rear Air Suspension Seal Leaks

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.

Note: this is for 2000 lincoln navigator problems. Click here if you have the very common 1998 lincoln navigator air suspension problems.

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.

Lincoln Town Car Replacing Airbags and Compressor

kaleb — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 23:24:19 +0000

The Lincoln Town Car commonly needs air suspension work around 80 to 120k miles. What happens at this point is the bags usually wear out on the bottom part of the bag. You will not to be able to see this wear with the bags in the car, you will have to remove them and fully extend them. Town Car Airbags are the same as most airbags, functionality wise. Once these bags rub together at the bottom for long enough, they will eventually wear through the chord, and leak.

So now you need new bags. In most cases people dont know they are leaking for a little while, or if they do they ignore it. You may notice the air compressor running sometimes, as it has to keep adding air as air leaks out of the bags. Eventually the air compressor will fail due to being overworked, in an attempt to keep air in those leaky airbags. So one aproach is to check your airbags as you get close to 80k miles. And keep an eye on them so you know when it is time for a new set of airbags. That will save you the cost of a lincoln town car air compressor, which isnt cheap.

Lincoln Navigator Air Suspension Not Working

kaleb — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 02:59:25 +0000

If your 98 lincoln navigator air suspension is not working, it could be one a few problems. If one corner of your vehicle is not airing up, or is not airing up properly, it could be a sensor not functioning correctly. It could also be the seals on the airbags, if one of your bags will not air up. These seals just wear out overtime. Often these seal problems will start when the vehicle is exposed to cold weather, as the seals begin to contract. This is not a big issue as the seals are only around $20, but it is a hassle to replace them. Read on for more.

This problem could also be because of a leaking valve, a leaking valve, or a failed motor. These things cost a lot more money to fix. In many cases it will cost $800-$1200.

Air Bag Problems with Continental

kaleb — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:32:18 +0000

Recently I have been having problems with my 1996 Lincoln Continental. This was its first and only problem yet, since I bought it nine years ago. The rear air bags were starting to act up. Sometimes they would feel really stiff, but more often they would feel very low on air and bouncy. I brought it to my mechanic, and of course the first time I tried to show him, it worked fine. But I brought it back again while it was having the problem. He quoted me $2300 to repair the system, and told me about another air suspension system solution. This solution got my attention. It was a kit that would replace all the air bags with coil springs and struts. I thought, of course thats a great idea, completely eliminate all air suspension problems, forever. Then he told me he could put this coil spring conversion kit on for only $750, including parts and labor. My mechanic assured me it was a great system, and that he had just installed one on a Ford Explorer just a week before. I was thrilled, that I could have a simple coil spring system, and avoid all my air system nightmares. I proceeded to order my conversion kit through this web site, Strut Masters, where I found the best price and awesome customer service.

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.
