Lets take a look at the cost difference between choosing an air suspension replacement vs a non-air suspension system. We will compare three prices: that of air suspension repair at the dealer, that of installing aftermarket air suspension parts on the Town Car, and that of getting rid of the faulty air ride headache and installing a brand new Strutmasters coil spring suspension conversion kit. Our customers tell us the low price of the kit is the main reason they made the "switch."

Replaced Components The1990-2011 Lincoln Town Caris built with the following rear suspension components:1990-2011 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.1990-2011 Lincoln Town Car Shock Absorbers (x2)- 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.1990-2011 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.1990-2011 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.1990-2011 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.1990-2011 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.1990-2011 Lincoln Town Car Dryer- prevents moisture build-up inside of air suspension parts.1990-2011 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.1990-2011 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 It's happened to many of us; you walk outside to get in your 1990-2011 Lincoln Town Car one morning and it looks like it's been “slammed” down to the ground. Or, as often happens when an air suspension is leaking, the rear end may be sagging while the front remains inflated. Sometimes drivers notice their Town Car is leaning from left to right or vice versa. One thing is certain- a sudden noticeable uneven height difference between different sides of the Lincoln Town car indicates a failed or bad suspension. When there is a total failure of air suspension, the Town Car will not be able to meet and maintain its proper ride height. It is a danger on the road and needs to be fixed ASAP. Other signs to look for are an illuminated suspension warning light or message on the instrument cluster. Lastly, check the Town Car's air suspension compressor. If it has stopped working or is running too often (noticeably loud and noisy), then you may be in need of a suspension repair or replacement.

Good product that solved my problem at minimal expense. It was necessary for me to use a spring compression tool to get the new springs mounted. Would have brought the repair to a stop had I not had the tool. The instructions on how to adjust the load leveling sensor arm were not clear. But overall a good product.
Thanks
big big tip. to pry the bottom end of the spring into the cup on top of axle, use a flat nail bar instead of crowbar.
Along with turn off the RASM switch in the trunk, also pull the RASM relay and/or fuse.
Thanks
Just had the springs installed by my front end/suspension guy this morning. The ride home sure was better than the ride over there. :-) Took him under 3/4 of an hour to change out the air bags for the new springs. The Lincoln is cruising just fine, now.
We had a conversion done to install passive suspension in our 2003 Town Car a few years ago and the springs would periodically bottom out badly. Your variable rate replacement springs are in now and they are terrific! Maybe we'll get another 335,000 miles on that car yet! Many thanks for helping us solve our problem!!
Very prompt shipping with good instructions with pics came with the springs. There is a video on utube of installation. Airbags came out easy & with a helper, springs went right in & fit perfect. I would recommend this kit to any one with airbag trouble.
Did the work with my two sons and it went smooth and fast.
This the second vehicle I have done and it works very well.
And the springs are made in the USA.
I am very satisfied with your product. I should HAVE DONE THIS THEN SPEND 250 DOLLARS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO JUST TO Have them go out again and that was using used parts at a repair shop. Thanks Big John
I just installed the suspension kit on my Lincoln Town Car today. I should have done this months ago. Wow!! It was a breeze to install and I took the car over the biggest bump in town at 70 mph to test it out. I am thrilled! I cannot tell the difference from the original air shocks. I can’t believe I saved over $800 by doing this myself. Thanks for a great product, Robert
Hey, Greetings from Boston (hence, "cah")! I just got my kit for the conversion spring for my Town Car. Nice to see my Lincoln driving the roads again instead of dragging its a**! It's a great product you have there and I received it exactly when I was told. Thanks again for a job very well done!
The height is just as the factory ment it to be. I no longer scrape and don't have to keep fixing broken muffler ends. Do not hesitate to get these, you'll fall in love with your towncar all over again. I am now driving my Towncar more than my 2007 Toyota.
Ooops wish I would have read this before replacing the air shocks I would have taken a before picture. I appreciate your concern and your follow-up, it is so rare that a business concerns itself with a customer after the sale. I am very pleasantly surprised and I will enclose some pictures of the repaired vehicle in my driveway (the same driveway my car didn't have the clearance to get out of). I tried 3 times unsuccessfully to leave my driveway for work, the vehicle was so low in the back the mud flaps had to be removed. Installation was very easy and I am very satisfied with price and performance of your product. I found your product on the internet while searching for options to repair. Kudos to your advertising department and another thumbs up to "you-tube" for having a step by step replacement video. On the road again, Doug
Hi Chip, I brought my 1995 Crown Victoria to your place of business, and your people kept their promise. They made some adjustments, which improved the ride. They also disconnected the light that said “Check Air Suspension.” It is truly gratifying to find a man who is concerned about his customers, and will make an honest effort to please them. It has been a long time since I witnessed such outstanding customer service. You are to be commended for your dedication to your customers. Please know that we appreciate the warm welcome that we received, and the prompt attention to our problem. My wife and I thank you very much. We will tell our friends and business associates about how you stand behind your products. Hang in there, and keep up the good work! Respectfully submitted, Andrew J. Shields, PDC
Well How do I start, The salesman, was very professional to start with. The shipping was right on time, The installation was completed while cooking dinner, no, really it was. In the time it took to cook dinner the springs and shocks were installed as per instructions. The finished car was fantastic. The springs were exactly what we were told they would be. American Made. That was a major selling point. Anyway with that said, We and very satisfied, and will tell everyone that will listen about your products. Thank you David and Cheryl Downey Palisade Co.
I ordered and received the exact part I needed to repair my 98 Ford Crown Victoria. The shipment arrived a bit longer than expected, due to weather conditions, but would recommend and would purchase from this seller again.
I set aside 4 or 5 hours this past Saturday to replace my air bags with the Strutmaster springs. I have to say that I completed the job in less than 1 hour. Very easy for anyone that can change a tire, to do this conversion. Sam's video really helped.
Here are a couple of pics from the before and after using the Strutmasters coil spring conversion. Great product and easy to follow instructions, my step-mother was glad to get her car back on the road again! Thank You, Kenneth
I had the Springs installed on my town car this past Monday. No issues to report , same nice ride on my car as before, so no noticeable difference, except the motor that filled the bags no longer comes on all of the time. It's nice not to have to hear the pump motor always running. I am very satisfied with my conversion kit springs. You can thank Jason for explaining to me the benefits of getting the springs instead of the air bags. thanks again, Carlos Curiel
