Hey, is the pedal really hard to push but gives you no stopping power? That's usually the ABS accumulator, switch or relay going out. Search Lincolns OnLine for the proper diag procedures for that.

Welcome aboard! The gauge cluster being out is typically a bad ground. In the driver-side kick panel there is a bundle of wires. Splice the orange wire to get a better ground. The rear suspension is easy; www.arnottindustries.com has a good set of instructions and decent prices on replacement part; so does www.strutmasters.com. The brake issue is most likely a relay or accumulator like Zilog suggested. Also be sure to bleed the brakes, as I am sure they need it. Good luck!

Congratulations. The rear suspension on your vehicle is fairly simple to replace. It's just a remove and replace procedure. We offer the replacement air suspension parts and a conversion kit that converts the from the air suspension to standard coil suspension. If you have any questions, please let me know and I will be glad to help as much as possible.

Thanks,
Strutmasters Team
