1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car Air Suspension Conversion Kit With 4 Shocks (FA2RF)

Replaced Components
The 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car is built with the following suspension components: 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car Air Springs (x2) - commonly referred to as air bags, a plastic and rubber bag that is fitted on top of the strut that uses pressurized air as a cushion instead of a metal coil spring to hold a vehicle off of the ground and off of its wheels. These are the number one cause of all air suspension leaks. All air springs all go bad at about the same rate. If one is leaking, the others will not be far behind. For a proper repair, all of them need to be replaced at the same time. 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car Shock Absorbers (x4) - has metal tubing filled with gas-charged hydraulic fluid that is connected to the wheel of a vehicle in order to reduce the effects of vertical travel on a rough surface which controls the bounciness, and therefore comfort, of a vehicle. 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car Coil Springs (x2) - the front of the town car already has coil springs, thats why we not only offer replacements for weakened coil springs in the front, but our conversion kit puts the same, sturdy design on the rear of the vehicle. 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car Height Sensors (x2) - a linkage located near each wheel of a vehicle with any electronic suspension that, either mechanically or electronically, constantly measures the height of the vehicle, and reports this information back to the control module so that the computer can identify if changes in height need to be adjusted accordingly. The ride height sensor is a moving part, and like all moving parts, they will eventually wear out. 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car Air Lines- tubes that run from a compressor to the air which carry pressurized air to the air bags in order to adjust the height of the vehicle, respectively. 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car Solenoids (x2) - usually L-shaped, these plastic components connect the electrical connection and lines of suspension components to the suspension control module on vehicles with active suspension. The solenoid regulates the air pressure for each air spring. Solenoids start to leak as they wear out causing the vehicle to sag or to lean. This will cause the ride height sensor to send a signal to activate the compressor in an attempt to inflate the air suspension and level out the vehicle. This excessive work load will eventually lead to total failure of the compressor. 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car Compressor Assembly- creates/sends pressurized to active suspension components. When the air suspension starts leaking, the compressor/pump starts working harder to try to keep the system inflated. By the time air suspension leaks down completely, sitting the vehicle on its tires, the compressor will either have failed or be well on its way to full failure. Buying replacement struts and taking the time to install them only to find out the compressor still needs to be replaced can be very frustrating, time-consuming, and expensive. 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car Dryer- prevents moisture build-up inside of air suspension parts. 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car Suspension Control Module- a computer which is responsible for the operations of the air suspension system and maintaining the vehicles correct ride height. 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car O-rings- Although they are the least expensive parts of the air suspension, they are responsible for maintaining the seal where all of the air lines connect. Be sure to replace the O-rings when repairing any air suspension system.

Suspension Failure Signs
The signs of a leaking or failed air suspension on your 1990-2002 Lincoln Town Car may not be very obvious to you if it has been going bad over a long period of time. So let’s outline some major symptoms you need to look out for to help you diagnose if you need a suspension replacement. The most noticeable sign is an uneven height difference between different sides of the Town Car. More common is a sagging rear end of the vehicle. This gives the illusion that the Town Car is squatting down lower than it should be. If your situation is catastrophic, the Town Car may have “slammed” down to the ground over a minor bump in the road. Some drivers notice an illuminated suspension warning light on the instrument panel. Others hear a loud and noisy sound coming from their air compressor, meaning it’s running too often.  If the back end of the vehicle is down, the compressor is shot.  Even if you can hear it running, it can no longer make enough air to keep the vehicle level,  You have killed it!  Strutmasters customers choose our conversion kit 98% of the time because it is permanent fix that saves them money too,
