How can I find someone who will convert the air suspension system on my 2004 Lincoln Navigator? The shop that usually does repairs for me wants $958 to repair the front air bag on the suspension system and after reading the posts here, it seems that converting the system might be the best way to go.

I HATE to say it... but there are other reasons
for air-loss failure... and if you can stop by the
VARIETY store and buy some BUBBLE solution
or put soap into a spray bottle...
This is a very complicated and expensive system to maintain. I would strongly recommend doing a air suspension conversion on your Navigator and be done with the problem forever.
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.
AIR COIL SPRINGS WILL DEFLATE AND BE DAMAGED IF YOU DID NOT TURN OFF AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM BEFORE RAISING VECHICLE AND CHANGE TIRES IF YOU DONT TURN OFF AIR SUSPENSION IT WILL CAUSE AIR SPRINGS TO OVER INFLATE CAUSE AIR SPRING SPRING DAMAGE.
the air ride suspension has level sensors under the vehicle, one of the sensors must be bad making the truck deflate the airbag or inflate it too much. you may need to have someone with a scan tool to access the air suspension module and check for fault codes. you can try turning the air suspension switch off for about an hour to see if the system will reset. the switch is located under the dash on the right side kick panel.
Replace the air suspension with conventional shock/strut
conversions. The Air Ride System is not worth investing
time and money ,after the vehicle is 5 years old.
Too expensive to maintain ,and too difficult to diagnose
A lot of problems,with that system
If your keeping the vehicle,swap out the air shocks, for conventional
Do not go to a dealer. People on this site, are spending $4000.00, and the dealers,still are unable to repair.
could be faulty compressor which pumps up the suspension,is it leaking from anywhere,causing the pump to work too hard,has it just packed up,check fuses but probably compressor
There have been several problems about air suspension. There is a diagnostic plug to test this system. I can not tell you about independent shops having the tools, but try Autozone or Oreillys and see if they can scan the air suspension. If not, it must go to a dealer.
The airpump units are available at Salvage yards. However, a diagnostic test will quickly show which sensor or air suspension bag is leaking. There can be high pressure, so lines must be disconnected with care.
