Hello,
I just bought a 96 Continental Diamond Anniv. with 4 wheel air ride suspension... as I believe they all had.
I have a few questions... The air bags are all 4 rotted out and bad and I dont hear the compressor run and its turned on...
I am thinking I will just do a conversion kit. My options are 4 wheel conversion kits with either just springs, front struts and 4 springs or 4 new struts/shocks and 4 springs...
I know the car has "Ride Control" and "Power Steering" firmness settings... I want to know if I will lose these if I only do the springs and keep the electronic struts.
Do the electronic struts actually control the ride firmness? or do you HAVE to have the air suspension as well to control the ride firmness?
In an IDEAL world Id like to keep the adjust-ability for the ride and power steering (I read somewhere you can lose that too) and just put in the 4 springs.... I am totally new to this but I know how the air system functions and what the components are... these electronic struts I am not familiar with.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
