Your vehicle has three height sensors, two on each side in the front, and one to control the height of the rear. The rear height sensor is located on the passenger side axle. If the car stays jacked up ALL the time, I would have the compressor checked. Otherwise I think you are doing the right...

It sounds like the vent solenoid in the compressor is stuck and therefor preventing the system to release the air from the rear. It could also be that the height sensors are out of adjustment. However, if this is a new development I would check the compressor first, especially since you have...

How long has the problem been apparent. If it has been happening for some time, say a couple of weeks, it is safe to say that you have an extreme amount of strain of the compressor. It may be a good idea to replace the compressor and dryer when you replace the two front air struts and...

I would take a look at the height sensors. It is possible that the shop doing the repairs did not reconnect the height sensors causeing the front of the car to drop. Check that first, and then let me know. Be patient and we will figure this thing out. Thanks, Strutmasters Team

infowill, we at Strutmasters offer a complete coil over conversion for your 95-96 continental. The kit comes pre-assymbled and ready to bolt on. It consists of coil over struts for the fronts and coil springs and the mounts for the rear. This kit replaces both the troublesome air springs and...

The first thing I would check is the height sensors and make sure they have not been displaced. Then I would do a physical inspection of each air bag to check for leaks. Look around the bottom of the air spring and check for vertical cracks around the fold of the rubber. If everything is OK...

Jporter, your car only has the shocks in the rear of the vehicle. The front has an air strut assymbly that acts as both shock absorber and weight stabelizer. I can get the shocks for you, we try not to advise the customer to get them on their own considering that we do not offer the upper...

Jporter, we use 97 thunderbird shocks with new OE Mark VIII mounts when we change the shocks for our customers. Get the Monroe Sensetracs. They cost about $30 each and will give you a very smooth ride. The upper mounts you can get from the dealer. Always replace the upper mounts any time you...

It sounds to me like you have problems with bad struts. You probably have a leak in the bags as well. We have a conversion kit for the 95-96 continentals that converts them to a passive strut and coil spring. This eliminates the VERY expensive electronic struts that you have on your vehicle...

nickster, the lines are not presurized, so if the car dropped with the system turned off it can only be one of two things, bad bags, or bad solenoids. As far as determining which side is the problem, do a physical inspection of both bags with the car off the ground. The problem bag should...

Sounds like you have a leak in the bags. It will take a long time for the car to leak down sometimes. It depends on how much of the leak is exposed. If you jack the car up on lift or with jack stands, and do a physical inspection of the bags, you should see several vertical splits at the...

marks95ivorymark, I believe that VIII Ball used our lowered conversion on his Mark. He might have some pictures of the kit. As for customers claiming to have a better ride after converting their car from air suspension, we hear that all the time. The answer is simple. You are replacing a ten...

67Continental, it could be one of two problems. First it could be that your height sensor in the front is out of adjustment, or it could be the vent solenoid in the compressor not recycling the air out therefor not allowing the car to drop. I would first check the height sensor to make sure...

It sounds to me like a garden variety leak in one or both of the front air air bags. If the back is not "jacked up" higher than normal ride height then the compressor should be fine. IF it is higher, you could have a problem with the vent solenoid in the compressor. This is very common on the...
