My "check air suspension" light is coming on. What does this mean?Bea Scarberry - 2007 Lincoln Navigator - Steering & Suspension - 11/21/2011That's all is lighting up on dash.-
11/21/2011 HouseCallAutoIt means there is a malfunction of the air suspension and it also means that there is fault code data stored that can be accessed by a mechanic with a compatible acanner. The codes stored dictate the course of diagnostic and repairs. Not a DIY type repair. Whoever fixes it, ask them if their scanner can communicate with a 2007 Lincoln air suspension module before you give them the vehicle to fix.

11/6/2011 JimmTry the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.RockAuto.com or www.autopartswarehouse.com for the necessary parts for the suspension conversion. You may also try a local salvage yard in your area for some of the used parts to save cost.

Driver side has squeak when going over bumps have replaced shocks all aroundJohn - 1998 Lincoln Navigator - Steering & Suspension - 10/19/2011

10/19/2011 Spoon Sportswhat you have to do is have someone bounce it while you get down there and listen to where the sound is coming from. Other than that, you could also grease anything that has grease fittings, and see if that gets rid of it, and spray some silicone lube on the rubber suspension bushings. Generally speaking, it could be a ball joint, tie rod end, control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, shock or strut bushings, coil spring seat...

Left side of car body is 1 inch higher than right side. Measurement from ground to body along center of each wheel.syellin - 2007 Lincoln Town Car - Steering & Suspension - 10/16/201132000 miles. This difference of 1 inch remains the same whether the rear air is on or disconnected. Auto computer says there is no air suspension problem. Right front strut 71346 was recently replaced.

What causes the air ride suspension fuse to continually blowrobert gordon - 1993 Lincoln Town Car - Steering & Suspension - 10/12/2011none
-
10/12/2011 HouseCallAutoUsually a leak in the rear air bags cause the compressor to run constantly and heat up and eventually they draw too much current and pop the fuse. The fix is almost always replacing the compressor and rear air springs. I hope that you like this car. By the way, a good supplier for these items is >> Strutmasters.com

I have a rattle in rear, only makes the noise when i hit a bump in the road. vehicle handles great. garage here saysstreetover88 - 2001 Lincoln Continental - Steering & Suspension - 10/10/2011all 4 sway bars need to be replaced. does this sound reasonable.

10/10/2011 tonyyou dont'; have drum brakes in the town car. Check you tail pipe hangars. These things are weak for the weight of the tail pipe and the rubber mounts go bad real quick. Your sway bars may not be bad just the bushings.

Check Steering Assist warning came on and steering became difficult, what does that mean?LD - 1999 Lincoln Continental - Steering & Suspension - 10/8/2011

10/8/2011 Spoon SportsTry flushing out the power steering/atf fluid and replacing with a good ATF mercon fluid. My friend did this in his Dad's car using Mobil 1 ATF and it stopped the leak he had and the steering is nice and smooth. They tried Lucas and the stock ATF but it was too thick in winter and the steering was horrid and then it started to leak after he changed some out. He then flushed it and replace it with Mobil 1 and it has been good for over 6-8 months.

98 lincoln navigator..when i drive 5-20 mph i hear a clicking sound on left rear wheel..goes away at higher speedAndrés - 1998 Lincoln Navigator - Steering & Suspension - 10/8/2011

10/8/2011 Spoon SportsTry exchanging the left rear wheel with a spare or with one on the other side; and see if the sound changes. Plastic wheel covers often create clicking noises as they flex. I would remove those covers; or get different style wheels which don't use wheel covers.
