Ever wondered how your Air Suspension system functioned? In this video, we describe how Air Suspension works on a smaller-scale model of a Lincoln Town car.
"The purpose of air suspension is two-fold: Maximum Passenger Comfort and to Maintain Proper Ride Height of the Vehicle to Ensure Safety" .....riiiiiiiiiiight. and my big ass spoiler is for safety too.
He's right. Air ride is more comfortable than coil springs. And have you ever loaded your trunk with stuff to the point that the rear end sags and the front raises? Or seen other cars loaded to that point? Air suspension keeps the car level no matter how much weight is in the trunk. Therefore reducing the likelyhood of damage to the exhaust system and loss of vehicle control.
Do u think is normal to keep hearing my air compressor traying to rum for example every time I start my truck the air motor is tuning like 30 seconds and them after while I'm driving is doing same thing for about 10 seconds
+Chris Haywood my dealer replace them last week since I purchase the truck there but I have bring the truck 2 times to them last time they put new air ride pump and new shocks to but I was telling them is like they haven't don't anything noise is same while I'm driving and after turn my ignition key and after I start my truck load noise all the time.
Is it possible to replace the air compressors with a canister of high pressure gas. Example would an electric car where you want to save ever amp you can. (But could attach a compressor to refill the canister when the car is charging). The system I had thought of instilling would let the user raise or Lower the car when needed with minimal energy loss wile driving)
I've driven Lincoln Town car my while life and it's the most pleasant ride ever ... air air air ride .... love it BUT my last 1999 with 260,000 gave up on and spending about 60.00 a tank (18gl) every 2 weeks I just had to think outside the box.... so now I drive a 2015 Honda Fit lol .... oh I feel every bump the road throws at me lol ..... tank is only $20-$24 every month lol ... anyways suspension wise air is so much comfortable .... one day I'll get another one .... they are not making town cars anymore tho ....
they never really showed the part that tells it to be at certain height or if the car is sitting low or high.. the most important part.. HEIGHT SENSOR. oh ya Chris was playing height sensor!
This is important to understand what triggers the air ride when it not level. The instructor can start out showing the hi and low air ride pegs as I call them and where they are mounted. Then when the car drop it triggers of a signal to the computer. The computer tells the compressor to "get your butt moving". Those parts he did not address are the 1st step in the way it works.
In order for the latest Citroen suspension to work there is use of not only pneumatics, but also hydromatics along with the main mechnanisim (if I'm not mistaken). If pneumatics is proven to unreliable, why do they make use of it? Just curious.
+Tha Aztecs Don't think Bagley knows cars any better than he knows English. But he could be French. I always heard these cars had great rides but have never ridden in one myself.
+jockellis actually I'm Portuguese. Actually I own a hidropneumatic Citroën. Actually I do it's maintenance. Actually I know about cars. Actually I speak English as well as I speak my native language.
That depends upon what car you're talking about. I've had three Lincoln Mark VIIIs with air suspension. Never had any trouble at all out of any of them until they passed 200k miles.
Yep. A lot of high end vehicles have air ride now. Air suspension is very nice when it is working properly. I never had any real issues with my Lincoln Mark VIII air ride. It worked flawlessly 99.9% of the time.
Hi chris do you think the battery will affect the Air suspension because i got a Lincoln mark VIII the battery warning sign was flashing all the time(it might be the battery needs to change) then all of a sudden the rear wheels sagged while the car is running' Thanks'
I see why all Lincolns always sag down and drag their frames on the ground. You should fix the sagging problem first before trying something new from outer space.
They put the air suspension in some Crown Victoria and Mercury Marquis as well. It's just easier to fix the problem with the spring coil replacement kit. No more sagging or expensive repairs.
thanks buddy, good explanation!
Very comprehensive, thanks.
Great and educative video!
I think it is amazing the frame after being squished is in such good shape.
Can you please put engine and trans back in the frame and do burnouts. Thanks.
lol
I recognized the rims lol then he said LINCOLN TOWNCAR lol
lovely video, great info, thanks
Quick question is there an air buffer storage between the compressor and suspension
great video!

one way lawn service you may have leaky air springs. Depending upon how old they are. They may have dry rot around the fold at the bottom of the bag.

Johhny appleseed, if you think that riding around on rubber bags full of air is dangerous, WHAT THE FUCK TYPE OF WHEELS HAVE YOU GOT?
Does a 2002 Town Car have front air bags or just rear air bags?
This is a big feature on 4th and 5th gen Ram Rebel trucks.
excellent love you friend
So do these principals apply to an auto ride system in a GM product?
Question, Can I control the suspention while I a driving? Or the car must be parked?
How is the maintenance of air suspension?
Why don't they show the frame dragging on the ground like real Lincolns do. Navigators, continentals, towncars. I see all of them squatn all the time.

is it available for 2011 ford endeavor /everest sold in india
can i buy your air suspension?how much it cost?
Does It need shockabsorber?
Why does the dryer need to be replaced if it is exposed to the air?

my 05 town car sit high in the back and rides like a truck ,how can I lower it
thanks thanks
Wah ada blogger legend
Nothing about the ride height sensor though ?
out standing go navy beat army
YYYYYAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaawn'
How is the compressor driven?
Troy Soogrim
12 Volt Electric
Its driven by the electric motor inside the compress. This is not like the a/c compressor using a belt.
Lol😂
Used cince 1980s BS. Cadillac's top of the line Eldorado series have air suspension from 1957.
si hablan y hablan en ingles pongan letras de traduccion en español gracias
Same time it would be good to say how to pump automatically tires...
New law in India is going to give you a big market
I want to stop my s430 from lowering when it's in Park, can I just disconnect the airmatic line on all 4 wheels?
The air ride likely will not ever work and you will ride with the car sitting on the frame.
the ABC suspension on the w220 is known to be very problematic...
yeah, i hate when it lowers like that...it looks stupid. I would just prefer regular shocks
can i use regular shocks??
when did you opt for it? its optional on the s430 and s500 only standard on s600
1980s huh? Ever been under a 1957 caddy?
they never really showed the part that tells it to be at certain height or if the car is sitting low or high.. the most important part.. HEIGHT SENSOR. oh ya Chris was playing height sensor!

+Bill Gredick ok thanks
mad gokart haha
is that someone talking or a computer....lol
Drag that shit!
Citroen is laughing so hard on this "inovative feature" ds 1955 had all you see here nad not with air wich is known to be unreliable

Ok. Thank you! :)

never really cared for air ride suspension, doesent really work so well

all land rovers have them

I know Cadillac and Buick is bad for leaking air and saging"
eh
sounds like an unnecessary wait to go wrong item.
WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH?????
All of this fake little car just to show off an air suspension setup?
+Blaine Bugaski Probably going to be a rat rod when its done
Kyle Milford Hopefully
Its called a concept example its to show what there talking about
Not bad, but not nearly as good as Citroen's legendary hydro-pneumatic, fully independent suspension.
citroen has better suspension
funny is it not safe to driven the car low so what about the Mexican who have low rider lol
You sound stupid as fuck dude
?????
Racist much?
Dumbass much? Mexican isn't a race. Learn English before you try and accuse someone of racism.
pavel1809 what the fuck are you trying to say ? Funny
i m think the Air suspension will not last to long you will have flat Air bags
You get what you pay for bud
You get what you pay for bud
Ride tech shock waves are the way to go
I have an '02 Lincoln Continental with rear factory air suspension. Works perfectly, so you really do not know what you are talking about.
How Air ride works??? IT DOESN'T!!!
this dude has a creepy ass voice (in my creepy ass monotone voice) lol
get a more boring narrator jesus christ
They can't. :D
Boooooring
this guys voice is annoyin
great video!
