See my garage, or if they are still there, the 96 white Lincoln MVIII LSC on the top preview line above threads (don't know why they are hazy - kinda sexy though). He's been sitting for 2 days, came out this morn. and he looked like this. Tell me it is just because he has been sitting! We just got each other, so I am not sure of his history, but interior, engine and underside look immaculate, we also just finished a 7 hour drive with absolutely no issues. He sat for approx. a day and half cause I got sick, I'm better now, but is he?

Thanks Guys - in advance ;)

Well the only thing I can tell you, is that your strut air bags are leaking, I have a 96 and I had the same problem, I replace both of my strut two month apart the last one last weekend, if you want to learn more about your problem check Eddie Web sight at www.americanairsuspension.com you get a lot of good information about your airsuspension and at this point Eddie is the one as far as I know, even those I didn't speak to him I need to because of something I did and I want to know if its okay, so check him out, you will learn quite a bit.

Go to Ebay or the nearest junkyard and get yourself the airbags with the valves attached. I fixed my Mark two months ago. The front bags were shot. I stopped off at You Pull It and picked up two bags from a Mark that had only 68,000 miles on it. I twisted off the valves that released the air and I removed the 3 top and one bottom bolt. Total cost to repair problem was only $41. :F

I can do this with absolutely no knowledge of what is up and few tools - I'm talking a few screw drivers electric drill and a hammer. I got ambition and knowledge, so I can read the referenced url provided by Rope? He only has 77,000 mile son him, and I just bought him, I am really disheartened at the dealer - but that is all over and I have no recourse. I just got locked out also when the dang keyless entry wouldn't work. Waited a few minutes and kept banging away at the keypad - finally got in! Only had him for 4 days, he is in such good shape I am surprised at all what is happening. I can't afford the shop fee for the bags - so I am gonna attempt to do what you suggest.

Thanks!

Don't feel bad you are not alone, I can't get into my car in a matter of minutes because my keypad would not work, so I don't worry about it, good luck with your suspension.
