Replaced Components

The 1997-2002 Ford Expedition 2WD is built with the following suspension components:

1997-2002 Ford Expedition 2WD 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.

1997-2002 Ford Expedition 2WD Coil Springs (x2)- Coil springs hold the vehicle up but be careful, they are rated for and designed to work with the rest of the suspension system, so when you change air shocks to passive shocks, then you will need a different rated coil spring that works well with the new type of shocks.

1997-2002 Ford Expedition 2WD Rear Gas Shocks (x2)- a type of shock absorber; 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.; the air spring assembled on top of the strut is commonly referred to as an air strut.

1997-2002 Ford Expedition 2WD Air Lines- tubes that run from a compressor (air suspension) to the air struts which carry pressurized air to the air bags components in order to adjust the height of the vehicle, respectively.

1997-2002 Ford Expedition 2WD Solenoids (x4)- This vehicle is equipped with 4 solenoids. These plastic components connect the electrical connection and lines of suspension components to the suspension control module. The solenoids are responsible for regulating the air pressure in each air spring or air shock. Solenoids are a small piece of the suspension system but they play a big role in how well it functions. If a solenoid is not working properly, it will cause the vehicle to be unlevel and, in turn, cause the compressor to burn out.

1997-2002 Ford Expedition 2WD Compressor- This vehicle is equipped with one air suspension compressor. The compressor is responsible for pumping up the air springs and shocks. When the air suspension starts leaking, the compressor is forced to run continuously to try and keep the air springs inflated. After a couple of days of running non-stop, the compressor will burn itself out. Replacing the compressor is a timely and expensive project to undertake.

1997-2002 Ford Expedition 2WD Dryer Assembly- This vehicle is equipped with a dryer assembly. The dryer assembly is responsible for getting moisture out of the air lines. Once the air suspension parts start to leak, moisture will build up throughout the air system. Moisture damages the air suspension components from the inside out. The dryer must be replaced whenever the compressor is replaced to prevent further damage.

1997-2002 Ford Expedition 2WD Suspension Control Module- This vehicle is equipped with a suspension control module. This module is the brain of the suspension system and it reads all of the signals that are being sent by the height sensors and determines if the vehicle needs to be raised or lowered.

1997-2002 Ford Expedition 2WD 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 2WD 1997-2002 Ford Expedition comes from the dealership with two air springs and two passive gas shocks on the rear of the vehicle. There are a couple of easy ways to tell if your air suspension is going bad. Like the Ford Crown Victoria, the Expedition will look as though it is performing a wheelie when its rear air suspension has reached the point of total failure. Another sign is when you hear your compressor running abnormally longer, or taking a long time to lift the back of your Expedition up after adding weight (not exceeding your GVWR). If you are experiencing these issues, have a mechanic check it out. But be warned, repairing seals on a compressor or replacing one air spring is like putting a band-aid on a big wound.



OEM Replacement Cost

+ Front Air Springs ($837/air spring)
+ Rear Shocks ($253/air shock)
+ Coil Spring ($189)
+ Compressor and Dryer Assembly ($720)
= TOTAL: Over $2,820 (and that doesn't even include replacing electronic components that are known to fail such as the height sensors).


Installing cheap no-name air parts or a poor-quality conversion kit built overseas is going to cost you more money in the long run when they fail. You may be able to find some really cheap parts out in Internetland, but you should understand what you're not getting with those cheap parts. You're probably not going to get great customer service over the phone. You're probably not going to speak with knowledgeable staff who can direct you to someone in your area who has experience with air suspension repair who can work on your vehicle with confidence. The company that sells you that product probably doesn't have a 1-year warranty on it that protects you after the purchase. Every time you purchase a product from Strutmasters, you can be sure that you are not purchasing a cheap product, and that our staff will provide you with all of these services. You can be sure that we will stand behind our products and stand with our customers to get their cars or their customers' cars back on the road!
