I purchased your air springs because of this video. I have the car off the ground but there is still air in the bags. How do I release the pressure. The bag is collapsed but not all the way and leaving too much pressure to remove the bags or reach the air solenoid. How do I release the air pressure all the way? Really frustrated and getting no where after doing this.
We would love to be able to make that video, unfortunately we have to wait for that particular repair job to show up before we can actually make the video of it though. So there is no telling when we might be able to do it. Have you tried the town-car forums? They probably have a do-it-yourself guide on the compressor somewhere.
Hey can you make a video on how to replace a old air compressor with a new one for a 1993 lincoln towncar,or do you know where I could look up,id really appreciate that.
While I was installing the passenger side air bag/spring the mushroomed retainer that holds the metal spring on the bottom of the spring pulled out of the metal retiner but the retainer is firmly seated in the hole on the diferential/axel. I put the bottom back on the bracket and set the car down on the ground. Will the weight of the car hold the air spring in place? Or does some other procedure need to be done such as glue or adhesive or will the stem reseat itself in the retainer? Is it safe?
Thanks your video helped out a lot big time.!!!
Hey I have a problem the airspring came off and it is full with air please help
I think that clip would probably come right from your local ford/lincoln dealer.
do you know if they sell the clip that holds the top of the air spring? if so, where?
The ride will be the same between those two, the only difference is that the heavy duty is designed to hold more weight. It is specifically for the Limo and fleet chassis.
Is there a difference in ride between the regular spring (A2105) and the heavy duty (A2220)? I have a 2001 towncar with low miles, and it seem to lean to the right a little bit.
The continental actually has a totally different suspension setup from the town car. Your vehicle is front wheel drive and uses fully independent suspension front and rear. So unfortunately the procedure is totally different and this video won’t be of much use. As of right now we don’t have one on the continental.
does the 1994 lincoln continental have the same air spring? as this car?
You can search our website for part number A-2220 and you will find the heavy duty air springs. These fit the 1990-2010 Town Car. And they fit standard town-car too, it does not have to be the limousine.
CAN I JUST REPLACE AIR BAGS WITH HEAVY DUTY SPRINGS INSTEAD?..IF SO DO YOU KNOW WHICH SIZE IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE 1991 MODEL?..CROWN VIC MAYBE?..
Yes I have it fixed now. Thanks for the reply anyway. I found a different way inside to get a good grip on the solenoid. She rides good again now. Thanks for the video.
Hi, sorry for the late reply, I am assuming you probably have it fixed by now? The position of the solenoid receptacle on the new airbag should be identical to the original airbag, so if there isn’t enough slack, the only thing I can think of that happened is that the air line got snagged on something or routed the wrong way while it was disconnected?
I’m doing this on a 2004 TC and I’m stuck! The solenoid doesn’t have enough slack in the lines to get the new bag connected. Help!!
On a Ford Air Suspension system, after the key is turned off, the following happens:
0-59 minutes. Only venting is allowed.
60 Minutes. The car will measure the height at the rear of the car, and either switch on the air compressor, or open the solenoids to vent the car.
61 minutes. The Air Suspension system turns off.
It’s normal after an hour or so (time it) for the compressor to run for a few seconds.
Another way to do this is to place a jack on each side of the frame just before the rear wheels, and jack the rear end so it sits a few inches higher than it normally does. Turn the ignition on, and let the compressor vent all the air from the springs. It will take several ignition cycles to do this. Do it until you no longer hear air flowing from around the air springs. Lower the car, start it (or turn the key to ON) and let the compressor air the springs up. It make take 2 Off-On cycles.
Hi Bam,
The Air Suspension in the Town Cars will only adjust front to rear, not side to side.
In order for the rear to be properly inflated, you need to completely release the air out of the left and right spring by twisting the solenoids and popping them out one notch. Remove them, and check to make sure the O-rings are seated properly, then re-install, and then let the compressor air up the rear end.
yes it should be just about the same, there may be small variations, but Lincoln kept the same suspension setup from 1990 up to 2002.
Is the air ride system setup the same on a 97 Lincoln TC?
the compressor should come on to reinflate the air spring after the job is done, if it doesn’t you may need to try resetting the system, you can do so by disconnecting the battery for a couple minutes and then reconnecting, also be sure that the air-ride switch is turned on in the trunk.
i have a 92 Lincoln town car and the right air spring went out when i replace that side will the a compressor kick back on because i have not heard it since that happen
I had a 2002 Lincoln Town Car-Now it belongs to my mother. Just had the air bags changed. Problem is that when the car is turned off the bags deflate. Since this was my car, and the car is still at my home. I always remembered the compressor coming on sporadically even after 30 minutes. Am I wrong? What could be the problem with the deflating? On accessory, I hear the compressor turn on and the bags inflate.
Thank you. I was reluctant to tackle this b/c I didn’t know what I was getting into but your video was well done and it appears the job is within my capabilities.
Damn this looks easy to do. I just ordered new bags for a 2007 Town Car with 260,000 miles and will replace them as soon as they arrive. Thanks for an informative video.
well the switch was still on so i got to the compressor and tested it out and it still turned on when i connected it directly to the battery. so i was thinking maybe there is a way it knows that the air ride bags are not connected??
As long as the Air Suspension switch in the trunk is turned off, then the compressor will never come on.
Good vid. But I have a question i have a 2004 grand Marquis and the air bags were removed I was wondering if the compressor comes on when they the air bags are removed?
The air suspension system stays energized for a set amount of time after turning the car off, if I remember correctly it’s either 15 or 30 minutes. During that time, the pump can turn on unless the master “Air Suspension” switch is turned off.
Is it normal for the pump to come on with out the car being on??
