2008 Lincoln Town Car Air Suspension Compressor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the air suspension compressor on 2008 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The air suspension compressor servicing process begins with cutting off electrical power to prevent unexpected air spring operation that might shift the vehicle and lead to injury. The air suspension service switch should point towards off before proceeding. The vehicle requires positioning on a hoist while residing in neutral gear. The service starts by taking out the air cleaner along with the air compressor drier cover which requires removal of pushpins and unlatching the cover. After removing its pushpin the canister can be extracted. Unplug the air suspension compressor by unlocking the quick connect using continuous pressure while easing the air tube from its holder and separating the power cable. When reassembling the compressor bracket secure its three nuts to 5 Nm (44 lb-in) torque. Remove the air suspension compressor assembly as the last step. The installation process requires inserting at least 3 mm (1/8 in) of white tube into the air tubes' fitting for the compressor drier, followed by reversing the removal steps to finish the installation.
