Q: How Can You Service the Air Suspension to Prevent Damage or Personal Injury on Lincoln Continental?
A: Any servicing operation on air springs must occur when the springs are no pressure so vehicle damage and personal injury can be avoided. Use proper lifting equipment for the vehicle then drain the air suspension system. You should raise and support the vehicle when the system reaches its deflated state. Connectors for the air spring solenoid and air line can be detached after you push down the quick connect ring lock and extract the line. First lift the bottom of the air spring upwards before you depress the locking tabs on the bottom of the air spring seat then you can remove the air spring through this sequence of tabs depression and rotational motion. Perform the reversed removal steps for new air spring installation to secure its proper position.
Q: How Should One Service and Repair the Air Suspension to Ensure Safety and Proper Installation on Lincoln Town Car?
A: First service and repair of air spring requires users to verify that all pressure is removed because handling an uncompressed air spring under pressure may result in vehicle or personal injury. High-pressure air will release unpredictably when you disconnect an air line from the air compressor which could cause personal injury together with damage to the components. The installation of unfolded rear air springs is prohibited and any unfolded springs require previous weight-bearing condition check to merge before usage. Replacement of all improperly folded air springs becomes necessary when they appear during pre-delivery inspection or after vehicle usage. The inflation of collapsed air springs is prohibited when they move from the rebound hanging position to the jounce stop. A new air spring requires inflation by using the air spring fill procedure before the suspension system can be loaded and a proper air spring shape must be checked after inflation. The air suspension system must be vented before applying any lifting operations to the vehicle on an appropriate lifting device. The air suspension system power needs to be disabled through the air suspension switch which is positioned on the LH side of the luggage compartment. The worker should first raise and support the vehicle and then remove the rear air spring retainer before lifting the air spring base from the rear axle. You should disconnect the electrical connector before compressing the quick connect locking ring to pull the air line out of the air spring for complete removal. During installation it is essential not to compress the suspension first since this method would result in damage to the air spring. The white air line requires a full insertion into the fitting throughout the installation process. Mount the air spring assembly into the frame seat while installing the retainer clip then place the bottom of the air spring onto the rear axle. You must reattach the electrical connector alongside the air line to connect the air spring solenoid valve while also setting its correct shape and performing air spring refilling.
