Rear Air Suspension Help....

[Black_Kannin]

Just ordered my new kit from suncore industries. It'll be in this week......Is this an easy fix for me (pictures and instructions welcomed!!) OR is there a Maryland CAM member that know the who and where I need to go for the install. My bags died on me Friday last week while in the shop. I've been limiting my driving as much as possible. I need help ASAP!!


Thanks folks

Replacing the bags is fairly easy...no special tools required. There should be instructions with the new ones, but here's a write-up: Air Bag Replacement (http://www.lincolnsonline.com/tech/00324.html)

Ahhh thanks!!

Yeah it comes with instruction that are easy to follow. I just had my mechanic do it since he could lift the car easily. The only problem i had was i couldn't get my air suspension light to go off. I got use to it after a couple hundred miles though.

It takes more time to safely lift and support the vehicle, lower it and properly inflate the new bags w/o damaging them than it does to swap the bags. Once it is safely in the air it's about 15min each.

Where is the "air suspension light"???

On page 10 of the owner's manual.

It is in the instrument gauge cluster in the dash.

Look in the upper left hand corner of the cluster when you turn the ignition key "on". Air suspension light should illuminate. IIRC it is yellow in color.

Also, when you turn ignition key and start, the Air Suspension light will blink several times then disappear.

If you turn the switch to "off" position in trunk, the light will constantly illuminate in the instrument gauge cluster, until you flip/turn the switch back on.

Hope this helps.

Actually on my car the light is in the upper right hand part of dash..never saw it before. Turn trunk switch off and light comes on.click switch on and no light.. Air suspension..Thanks guys. This is one reason I love this sight..
