I need some help with a 98 Lincoln Navigator?
JUDY asked:
My friend needs some help with the air suspension, before all this happens I know she told me her sister step on a nail and had a flat tire, the next day they jacked up the car so they can get new tire. The following day my friend borrow her sister car to take a family trip to Florida one weekend thats when she noticed her car was pretty low in the back. We thought it was the shock absorber, but she told me is something with air suspension. What do she need to do? What do she need to replace? Need some help please.

they are called air bags. they are right next to the shocks. about $600.00 dollars for the two of them and the control pump under the hood. i just bought the units for my lincoln mark 7 it’s a 87.

You have to turn off the air suspension before you jack up the Navigator to change a tire. Sounds like this was not done and the system must be reset. Disconnect the battery for one minute and then reconnect it, start the car and it should pump back up.

Cowboy is right. It’s the airbag causing the problem. They CAN be had for a lot less expensive, however. Check with the guys on and ask about replacement bags. They’ll help you out…

actually cowboy is wrong, you see without knowing more detail no one can pin point your problem, sorry but lets be realistic here that suspension system is very complicated. I would start with what j76spirit said first typical you won’t have both bags go bad at the same time so I don’t think its a bag problem. It almost seem like someone turned the suspension off when changing the tire and didn’t turn it back on which would explain why it wasn’t noticed until the weekend and the vehicle was loaded up and with the air suspension turned off it won’t raise its self up.
