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.

The suspension air bag blew up
why it blew was probably because of a defective height sensor

ideally you should seek repair at a dealer because very few independent garages have the experience to work on this system

1999 lincoln navigator rear suspension loud bang when going over speed bumps also rear rides higher than front? Compressor is fine all air hoses are fine front air shocks 1 year old rear shocks 1 year old...

Check your rear shocks. On the fender, push with your body going down. Upon releasing, your car should go up and down one time then settle. If it goes beyond or hesitate to move, you have a problem with your shocks. I think you also have a problem with the shock absorber bush. It does not matter if you have a new or old shock absorber. The lifespan of the shocks depends on the way you drive on bumpy roads.

WHERE IS THE REAR HEIGHT SENSOR ON 2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR

Usually between the frame and the rear axles. A lever type device, should be fairly easy to locate. Check that the compressor is building air pressure and storage tank. Air bags not leaking and etc.

You ask a dealer by giving the parts dept your

If your converting from air to conventional suspension,
then you ask the parts suppliers that sell the new parts
your going to use to replace the air shocks/struts

The rear end of my Lincoln Navigator will not raise.

could just be a seal on the air line itself, or possibly a whole in the line or one of th eleveling air bags. gong thru the water should'nt have any effect on it,unfortunately these are just like any other part, or seal they just eventually wear out.

If your not too familiar with air-suspension, send it in. But I can tell you that the air-compressor will not last too much longer if it runs constantly.
You need to go underneath and find out where the air is coming from while the compressor is running. It is possibly coming from a defective proportioning valve, bad air-line or defective air-bag.

Forgot toi turn the air suspension off when

Remove battery, remove windshield washer bottle, remove air compressor and disconnect both air lines from the compressor dryer. Make sure compressor electrical wiring is plugged in, install battery, turn suspension switch to ON, turn ignition switch to the ON position, close all door and the compressor should come on and completely lower the whole truck. Once the truck is completely down, turn the ignition OFF, remove battery and connect both air lines. Install battery ensure electrical wiring is plugged in, turn ignition switch to ON, the compressor should come on and raise the vehicle to the correct ride height.

Rear Suspension noise on 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8

Check sway bar. On some models as suspension sags, sway bar outer ends will contact the body, leaving a mark or dent just above the end, causing a bang over bumps. Only way to correct this is to change springs or add a spring lift.
