I wanted to mention this in case any members weren't aware. My boss drives a Lincoln TC, about a 1992 model. His rear air suspension went out, leaving his vehicle crippled. The high cost of replacing the air suspension was prohibitive, so he looked for alternatives online. What he found was a company who manufactures replacement COIL SPRINGS to take the place if the air bags. I will post contact information when I speak with him again (I am on a seasonal layoff at the moment.) I just thought members may want to know that this option is available. Says my boss, the springs were easy to install and ride just as good as the air suspension. Check it out for yourself!

You can stick standard coil springs from a 79-91 in there and it'll work. No special need for the kit.

...and wasn't the air ride automatically leveling?
The bags go for $65 on eBay.
