2000-2002 Lincoln LS Front Air Suspension Conversion Kit (FD1FB)

Replaced Components
The 2000-2002 Lincoln LS is built with the following front suspension components:

2000-2002 Lincoln LS Coil-over Struts (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. Coil springs are seated over the strut body and control the vehicle's height.



Suspension Failure Signs
There are common signs of a failed or leaking air suspension system on your 2000-2002 Lincoln LS. You should be aware of what they are so you can properly diagnose when the air suspension is going bad before there is total failure. You don’t want to walk outside only to see your car looks like it’s been “slammed” down into the ground! The most commonly seen sign is a sudden noticeable uneven height difference between different sides of the LS. This could be a sagging rear end or front end, with an inflated opposite end. Or there might be a shifting lean from side to side. Some drivers describe the LS as looking like it is squatting down too low to the ground. Check the instrument panel on the interior for an illuminated suspension warning light or message. If the air compressor has stopped working or is running too often (will be loud and noticeable), it may be suffering from “wear out.” Overall, if the ride height looks improper for the Lincoln LS, there is a good chance repair or replacement of the entire air suspension system may be necessary.
