Sorry to hear this. My advice would be to go ahead and say goodbye to your air suspension now before you repair anything else because that suspension is just going to continue giving you a headache. Here's a kit for your car. You can see how little it costs and know that even a novice DIYer can install this at home pretty easily. 2003 2006 Lincoln Navigator 4 Wheel Standard Air Suspension Conversion Kit...

Your air bags are leaking and sounds like your air compressor doesn't work. Suspect new air bags and a new air compressor. And/Or ride height sensor located at the drivers side fender well above the controll arm.

How do I get a fully inflated air shock to deflate?

The air struts have a safety valve in them you would have had to crack the line and let the air slowly leak out

Right front shock gone car sitting down against 20" tires how can I tow to shop? tried a flat bed but front bumper touching bed and tires really scrubbing i trying to drive

A failed shock will not cause this (except maybe some off road air shocks). A collapsed suspension like that is due to a broken spring or separated suspension joint. Sorry, you can't drive it, towing is needed.

My Lincoln Navigator air suspension went flat after we replaced all four tires, it won't air back up...please help!!!

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.

I replaced the air shocks on my Olds Silhouette with no problem and thought the problem I had (van sitting very high in back) was solved. Rode great first week or so afterwards. Now it is back to shocks...

Check the bleed port on the controller, it may be plugged with dirt. or the controller may have failed. A full funtion scanner would help find the problem.
An other option is to by-pass the auto- leveling system and install a manual scrader valve in the air line, this would allow you to add and remove air with any source. They are availble at most autopart stores.

When should my shocks be replaced

well sometimes they claim that this shock has a 45,000 mi average life, Also note the wear on the tire if there is any. An over inflated tire will wear in the center more than the edge, a under inflated tire will wear on the outer edges, a bad shock can cause a tire to wear not necessarily the tread but the smootness of the tire, is it all rough with raised tread edges or uneveness? Does the vehicle have sway or does vehicle bounce or washboard when hitting bumps? does the shock have visual signs of fluid leak? These are all signs of shock failure and should be replaced. And not necessarily al four at he same time, replace shock with manufacturer equipment if replacing only one, if replacing two on the same axle you can use aftermarket matched shocks or factory oem.

I have a 99 ford expedition i replaced the air compressor cause the front air shocks were bad and ruined the compressor. and teh rear air bags went flat now that the new compressor is in the rear wont air...

I have a 2001 Expedition, I don't have air bags in the front, the compressor don't work the air shocks. You have rear leveling. When they replaced the (compressor) did they turn the leveling switch back on. you may have air shocks connected to the compressor. Did the rear go down right after or over a couple of days. If the switch is on, turn it off and jack the rear up quiet a bit, make sure both side are quiet equal with each other, like it would be if it where raised by the air bags. Turn your level switch back on with it jacked up or sitting on stands. It may have went down so much that the compressor can't raise them back up.
