    air ride "off"

    he he he....by the looks of this beat up beauty, nothing would surprise me on just how long it has been since the air ride worked properly. Its a shame that its as beat up as it is. I have looked and looked for another black on black 94 towncar (identical to one I used to have) and have had...

    Yet another new guy here

    aaaahhhhh. I have walked away from a 76 mark IV this week. 77,000 original miles and it runs and drives. all it needs is a set of hub caps and the top replaced. I had to think twice about saying no to that $600.00 beauty, but with 2 mark VIII's and a Mark V collectors series needing...

    air ride "off"

    Just bought a parts car and "bounced" it over 2 hours back home. What would be the logical and/or probable cause for the switch in the trunk to be on, and the on board computer flash that the switch is off? I'm curious to see if the front suspension is actually bad, or if it has just leaked...

    dazed and confused

    :confused: Ok, first of all, I wanna appologize in advance if I am repeating issues that have previously been discussed. I have been reading previous posts all night long to try to see if I could figure out my problem without starting a new post, unfortunately, I think I am just getting confused...

    Serious engine noise!

    I get the same whining noise when the factory phone is turned on....Its annoying, but then again, the phones dont work anymore, so it doesnt really matter.....just one of those things I want to be right just for the sake of everything on the car working like it should.

    Air ride conversion questions

    Ok, I know how this is a two sided topic.....go for it, or dont. I am looking at a set of conversion struts for the front of the car. My question is, is it possible to convert only the front system to struts and leave the back with the original air ride....I wouldnt even be thinking about this...
