Hello All, Just a quick update to let you know that i was able to put in the second air shock about a week ago and so far so good. The system is holding air and everything seem OK. Thank you for all your help...

Yes. you can adjust the height. loosen the sensor mount and move it up or down. i think you need to move up to lower the car. see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz1wCCvIJ1I

Since its winter, i do not expect to see much of a difference. The real test will be this summer... :cool: Y.

Updates: The warranty company approved one bag. they require the work to be done by the shop and they have a low ($60/h) labor rate. Since I also needed and new power steering pump (covered), it looks like I will break even and have had the shop (local Ford dealer) do the work. I have decided...

3 row performance radiator - Fits OK! Just a quick update to let you all know that I have put in a 3 row performance radiator: KKS Motorsports Aluminum Radiator For 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII V8 The fit was OK. I had to move an AC hose a bit. The biggest issue was that i needed longer bolts...

thanks Mike, I told them to check into the Westar front shocks from Autozone. (per ranchodenieve's post) I hope they are good.

Just a quick update. I replaced the relay, checked the compressor and replaced the solenoids. No improvement. I took the car into my local Ford dealership and asked them to check the bags. They found a small tear in the pass side bag. They are now getting approval from the extend warranty...

Thank you Mike, I have a spare set of mounts that I got too busy to install last summer. This is busy spelled "lazy." The car is still parked and it looks like i may have gone down about 1" since yesterday. I am now hoping that the bags are bad since these are covered under my extended...

Thank you Andrew, I just checked the system again. The front end takes a long time to rise and the compressor sound "sick" and not in good way. I inspected and spray tested passenger side air shock and has a few minor surface cracks in the rubber. The system seems to hold air for as long a s...

Hello All, I know that this has been asked many times and I have looked at many of the responses, but I am finding it hard to know where to look first. Symptoms: Slow to raise the front end. I have taken to waiting for the front to come up before pulling out. Check air ride message comes on...

I did the valve covers on my 1996 Cougar. So I totally understand. I had to customize some sockets. i ended up using screwdriver sockets with a mini ratchet. there is no space between the cover and the side of the engine bay. Also needed to take out the wiper assembly... Fun times!:frown-blue:

Hello All, It looks like I have several small oil leaks. The first seems to be from the Oil filter adapter gasket or oil pressure sensor. I found several threads that describe the process of removing the filter then the 4 x 10mm bolts through “the sway bar links?” Does anyone have any...
