They are not repairable but replacements are very inexpensive and easy to acquire. I'd recommend having a mechanic do it for you, though, since an alignment will be required when the work is done.
I owned a 1966 Lincoln Continental for years, and there is really nothing unique about the standard suspension (front A-Arm & ball joint, rear coil spring with swingarms). All parts are typical of suspensions of full-size vehicles in that era.
Is yours an early air-ride system? If so, there are many Lincoln forums that can help you diagnose and repair the system.
Best of luck to you!
When I got my 1994 Continental, it had already been converted back to a coil-spring suspension, and the air-ride system was GONE. You will find that is the case with most of the ones that are still on the road. The air-ride system turned out to be an unreliable, trouble-prone, nightmare for most owners....and it was cheaper to scrap it and go back to after-market coils, than what it was to have a Lincoln dealer fix it. Looks like you're destined to join the club....If you decide you want to have it fixed, and make the car driveable, be prepared to PAY for it.
When the key is off, the air suspension shouldn't lose any air, so you could have a valve leak in the system. I'm not familiar with all the components of the system, but did you check the valve that allows the system to bleed off pressure for leaks when the system is turned off?
spray the bags and lines down with soapy water and look for a air leak also at the valve block under the hood i think napa has a kit to change them to a spring system cheaper then new bags
it should deflates only at trim height and shld stay at that level considering that there is no leak on the rear air suspension. Most probably leaking rear air suspension is the problem. The system works up to 45 minutes only after ignition off and will maintain the trim height
YOu or any other person definatwely do some thing wrong with ckt plugs means some 1 had done wrong connection so doing wrong indication at real time..!
