2006 Lincoln Town Car Air Suspension Compressor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What are the essential steps and precautions for servicing and repairing the air suspension compressor on 2006 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: When servicing or repairing the air suspension compressor one needs to use suspension fasteners which match their original part numbers or equivalent quality components because using inferior parts will create major service problems. During reassembly maintain all components in place using torque values which were specified. Complete suspension system electrical power shutdown is necessary first since spontaneous air spring pressure changes could make the vehicle shift when working on it therefore creating risks of bodily harm. Begin by turning the air suspension service switch to OFF followed by placing the vehicle into NEUTRAL position then hoisting it above the ground. The technician should start by disconnecting both the air cleaner and the air compressor drier cover by removing their respective pushpins. You need to eliminate first the canister pushpin and afterwards dismantle the canister. The air compressor disconnection requires compressing the quick connect locking ring and pulling the air line while also unfastening the air suspension solenoid electrical connector. Secure three air compressor nuts at 7 Nm (62 inch lbs.) when you reinstall them. To complete installation of the air compressor keep 3 mm (1/8 inch) of visible white air line within the fitting for the compressor drier. The installation process requires reversing all steps of removal.
