air suspension

The front air bags or air lines may have a leak or the height sensor is defective. The most likely cause is the height sensor is defective.

Hello, thank you for writing in. If one side is sagging or lower than the others, the air bag in the suspension is not being filled up and regulated. This is typically due to a failed compressor, or an issue...

If one air spring will hold pressure and the other will not, there is an air leak in the part of the system that operates the spring that will not hold pressure. The leak can be in the line between...

Hello - yes, it is possible, and indeed a common modification, to swap out the air ride suspension on this model for conventional suspension (https://www.yourmechanic.com/question/how-do-i-know-which-service-to-select-to-repair-my-suspension-is-it-better-financially-to-convert-suspension-from-air-by-leroy-f). In fact, several auto suspension suppliers make conversion kits to do just this. As you...

The fuse for the level control compressor is located in the under the hood fuse block. It is a 40 amp fuse number 61. There is also a relay between this fuse and the electronic suspension control module. In addition...

Hi there. If the air compressor has destroyed itself, then this will effect the ride quality and the load bearing on the vehicle. This can damage the air suspension to the vehicle and make the level of the vehicle off....

Hello. If your rear air suspension is lowered then it will likely need to be repaired before it can be restored to full height. Any component you need to make the repairs can likely be sourced from a Mercedez Benz...

Range Rover air suspension is a tricky system. It's usually trouble free for the first few years, but often when the problems start, it can be the beginning of a long story. The air suspension system consists of a compressor...

You have great diagnostic skills! In addition to the components you have listed, it's also possible the air line to that corner has a leak, or the solenoid itself has a leak. Unfortunately, this is a chronic problem with model...

Hello. Thanks for writing in about your 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII. I suggest that you have a technician test a power and ground going to the air ride relay and pump. Some particular make and model have experienced corrosion on...

It sounds like you may have a small leak somewhere, possibly one of the rear airbags. Aside from that, there is a relay behind one of the headlights that controls the air compressor. If you get power at the relay...

The pump will become loud when it is under pressure and lifting a load. If the pump is quiet and you hear a hissing sound around where the pump is, either the pump is leaking or the main supply hose...

Hi there. The best thing to do is go with the local parts store for the coil spring set. Any coil spring is a good spring as long as they are designed for the weight of your vehicle. Now since...

Hi - your "low suspension (https://www.yourmechanic.com/question/air-shock-and-suspension-problem)" may be a leaky air bag, pressure check valve, bad air pressure sensor, or blown fuse or relay for the air compressor. Weather changes to cold weather causes air contracts (actually shrinks somewhat), but...

Unfortunately I don't agree that the test you have done reveals any answers. Air ride systems have one inherent weakness no matter which manufacturer has created them. That weakness would be air leaks from the air bags, air lines used...

Hello. For most vehicles, the air suspension should stay inflated once the compressor is powered off or deactivated. In some cases, the release valve is also powered off when the compressor is powered off, allowing the system to stay inflated...

This is likely a compressor issue. The compressor may be faulty or may have a bad connection. This can be tested several ways. You may have a code available from the computer which explains more about the compressor issue. You...

Hello there, you have a few different potential issues going on with your 1998 Lincoln Navigator air compressor. If the air compressor sounds weak, there is likely an air leak, or the compressor is failing. Air leaks can be found...

Hi there, thanks for writing in. I'd be happy to help. This sounds like you may need to replace the bags (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-suspension-air-bag) if they are not holding air. Try checking to see if when the compressor comes on if you...

The suspension would need to be changed over with a kit like at this web site [ http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/9520LB ] The cost for the parts is almost $700 and you are looking at approximately 8 hours labor to install the kit....
