air shocks conversion..stiff ride
I may be on the wrong forum for this but here goes..I have a 1996 Lincoln sport coupe which has the air shocks to shocks and springs modification..I bought the car this way..the ride seems to be very rough..you can feel every bump in the road..I had a 96 continental that I had the modification done to and the ride seemed to be ok..I don't know how long ago the modification was done on my 96, but it's only showing a little over 101 thousand miles..I haven't looked under the car yet..any suggestions on curing the rough ride??"

Less air? Are they adjustable that way? Wayne

If I understand you someone removed the air springs and installed coil springs correct? If so and you want the Lincoln ride back install new air springs and replace or repair the compressor. Also is this a Mark 8 if so it could have a sportier ride then a Continental which could be rougher.

Yup, I read that one wrong. The original air bags are cheap to replace and belong on the car. Just did this recently on my 03. Wayne
