97-02 Ford Expedition/Lincoln Navigator air suspension replacement

In this video we show the removal and installation process for the rear air bag suspension for the 97-02 Ford Expedition and 97-02 Lincoln Navigator. You can easily complete this repair with a few common tools and an hour or two of your time. If you encounter trouble when trying to install the solenoid with the new o-rings, then you can just go ahead and reuse the old o-rings as long as they are not damaged. Just make sure to use some oil to condition them.

Although using OEM Ford Motorcraft air bags is always preferred, due to the price for OEM parts and taking into consideration the age and value of the vehicle it’s not always the best choice. I received 9 years of service from the OEM Ford air bags, another 9 years of service from the aftermarket set of bags that I’m now replacing. This current set of aftermarket air bags are made in China, but use Continental air bladders.

Here is the link to the replacement air bags that I used.

How do you take off the air line off

David Blalock says:

Hmmm. I wonder how much fab work I'd have to do to retrofit the suspension from my run down old lincoln navigator on to my 90 F150?

Wish you had a video of doing the lines

This is the best video for this procedure. Very clear and visible……places and pieces that you hope others will show in their video but it never happens….in your video, from placement of jack stands as well as exact position of floor jack to very clear and specific verbal instructions. One thing would have been a big help….how you removed the air hoses from the Solenoid. But overall this was an awesome video! Thank you very much!
