Hello.
Please help me!
Rear Air Suspensions expires air for four hours. I checked Suspensions with soapy water, I did not see a leak. I replaced both Air Suspension Solenoid. The car still falls.
After starting the engine, the car rises and I can go.
Removed the terminal from the battery, Rear Air Suspensions expires air.
Thanks. Alexander.

Alexander! I'm glad to see your post. One of these days, I need to contact you about a shift knob.

When you replaced the solenoids, did you use new O-rings? I've definitely had trouble with this before.
Here are the ones I have used in the past. (I've posted this link elsewhere, also.) https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/1166809

I might suggest you try letting the system inflate, and then turning off the "air ride" switch in the trunk. This should eliminate any electrical malfunction. If the rear still drops, I'd think it is safe to say it's either a leaking solenoid, or bad bag(s?) I'm sure others will have some pointers as well. I honestly haven't had to troubleshoot this system very much at all.

Hello Mike.
Thanks!
I replaced the solenoids, with new O-rings.
Today I again took off the solenoid and found a compressed O-ring!
Replaced! Checking ...

Shift Knob on the Lincoln Mark VIII 97-98 different than Shift Knob on the 93-96.
I used only the internal part from the OEM shift knob.

I have expired air for four hours before, but that is only after eating taco bell with fire sauce. :fart

Since the air springs have folds in them sometimes a small leak only gets exposed after the spring is in just the right position.

Do you have some pictures of your custom shift knobs.
