Q: Lincoln navigator bounces

asked by on June 07, 2017

Steven, my 2004 Lincoln navigator bounces uncontrollably. Could the air suspension compressor be the culprit. I've already replaced one of the suspension sensors that attach to the wheel.

My car has 80000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
