Already converted from rear air bags suspension to non air.. but now my steering isn't right. what can that be?

These Lincoln air suspensions are terrible. I have converted many over to coil springs at a fraction of the cost of replacing/repairing the bags. If the rear bags don't inflate, there is a broken air line to the bags or the bags are leaking

I have a 2000 Lincoln Town car, had the same problem, it was the rear air suspension/shocks. They are air bags basically that levels your car and it cost about $300.00 for each at the dealer for parts and install but it also has its own motor that inflates and deflates these air bags and I also had to replace that and that cost over $400.00 installed at the dealer.

Replace all your Air Bag Suspension with conventional
non air ride parts.

Too expensive to maintain air suspension on an older
vehicle.

There are several companies that offer those products

You can't use a car with deflated air bags,have to be
replaced

Yes, theres a kit that replaces the air bags with shocks and springs and then they give you a small module that connects in the trunk to the air suspension diagnostic connector to turn off the air ride light and keep compressor from running, i,ve found that the price ends up costing the same or more to replace than repair. i have done a ton of these and the problem is the bags leak and sometimes cause the airpump to go bad, theres a web site i use that sells these parts cheap and they work great, start by replacing the bags and then the compressor if needed, the selinoids on the bags are reuseable, now if this car has the front and rear air ride then it is cheaper to convert and i think this car does if its got the v6 engine then it is front and rear air suspension, they sell a kit for 499.00 dollars and comes with struts and springs complete to convert i think just one air strut is 200.00 so it is cheaper to convert .i hope this helps, the web site is get google Airnott industries and then go to the coorect year and make for your car,

I would re-install them myself, I liek them better, but you can try to find the air suspension control module. It is usually mounted on the AC/Heater box and it will have a black connector and a gray connector. Unplugging the black connector will turn off the “check air suspension light” but it will also disable your power steering tension (variable assist steering) control on the left side of the steering column. So after you unplug the black connector you need to remove the dark green/light green wire pin from the connector and then reconnect that black connector to the module. That will disable only the check air suspension light. Or to make quick work of it you can just identify that black connector to the module and cut the green wire. And be sure to isolate that wire because the “check air suspension light” will come on if it touches ground.

It sounds like one of your air bags could have blown. I would check them first. I would also suggest checking into a replacement non air conversion kit from Strutmasters. I replaced the air system on my 2002 Navigator and saved a lot of time, money and headaches.The lines on my navigator had holes in them and I replaced the compressor twice before I realized it. Very costly. Avoid all the hassle and check out Strutmasters.

there are 2 ways of fixing that problem you can replace whats broken which is more than likely the air bags, which is expensive, or you can get an aftermarket set up with regular springs and do away with the air bag system completely it's not hard to convert it over just unplug the compressor jack up the car to lift the weight off of the suspension put a jack under the rear end housing and loosen the the shocks and lower the rearend housing remove the air bags put springs in their place jack up the rear end bolt shocks back up and your done.

hi i live in ontario california i want to change my rear air bags suspension ford 2001 expedition you cant help me please i need instruccions step by step thank you

check to see if there is a ride height sensor in the rear of the truck and make sure that both side are even.

Well, I can't speak for anyone else but this is a question that would just plain be bad to answer. I assume you are talking about the rear side SRS (Supplemental Restraint System). If this is the case, any attempt to override them could easily result in several bad effects. 1) You could damage the system, causing the bags to inflate, possibly injuring yourself or others in the process of trying. 2) You could easily damage the entire system causing none of the air bags to work, thus risking serious injury in an accident. 3) In the event you did succeed in disabling the system or not, any injury incurred as a result of trying to or succeeding in disabling the air bags could be construed to be the liability of a person(s) responsible for telling you how to do so. My recommendation is to leave them alone for your own safety and that of others. If you are concerned about injury to children in the rear seats here's a link to an article that explains some research about them.

Side air bags produce much less risk to your children(s) well being than regular frontal air bags.

Not that it's up to me to decide for other people, but I really caution anyone who is considering giving a solution to this problem. You can be held accountable for helping someone to injure themselves or others. A mechanic here in New York State was recently fined, lost his license to work as a mechanic, lost his garage and his home, and even served a short sentence. The reason? He informed a young man that it was ok to use a compression fitting to repair a damaged brake line in his trans am. As a result the young man blew the compression fitting doing over 80 mph and ran over a young girl getting off of a school bus. The young man driving the car was exonerated of all charges, and the mechanic was held liable for the death of the child, even though speed and wrecklessness contributed more to the accident.

I'd just hate to see anyone injured as a result of something like this.
