Why The Air Suspension Fails 97-02 Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator And How To Fix It

This video explains why the factory air suspension on your 1997 to 2002 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator has stopped working, the vehicle is sitting too low and riding rough. Strutmasters explains the problem and offers an economical way to solve it.
Our narrator walks you through some of the key components in the factory air suspension system incorporated into most of the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition models built between 1997 and 2002. Plus we explain the most common reason why the system has failed.
Strutmasters gets a ton of calls from repair shops and owners of these great SUVs. The vehicle is getting older and racking up miles, but they are still well worth hanging onto.
Our suspension experts note with an older, high-mileage vehicle, your choices may be limited:
1) You Can Do Nothing -- Some vehicles, like the one in this video, are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to drive when the computerized factory suspension goes bad. And if you DO keep driving the vehicle, it is DANGEROUS. Some suspension failures end very badly, even causing an accident. We recommend that you FIX THE VEHICLE as soon as possible.
2) Fix It At The Dealer -- Perfect solution IF you are willing to spend potentially MORE than the vehicle is worth just to fix the factory suspension. Most customers don't have the money. The ones that do are too smart to sink three grand or more into just ONE repair on an older vehicle. Most of our customer say PASS ON SPENDING BIG BUCKS.
3) Trade It or Sell It -- Good luck with getting a fair price for an almost undriveable vehicle. Do you really want to get rock bottom value for a vehicle you loved and had so much invested in prior to the suspension failure? And can you take on ANOTHER luxury vehicle payment that can easily land in the $500 to $800 a month range for years to come? Plus your insurance will go way up. Most of our customers say DON'T GIVE AWAY A GOOD CAR!
4) Throw Parts At It -- The sooner you understand that NOT JUST ONE part is broken, but an entire system is going bad, the better. We have had thousands of customers go the route of replacement parts and regret it. Our video library is filled with customer vehicles that had hundreds, even thousands spent on them before a conversion kit was installed. ALL of these active factory suspensions are complicated and do you really want to work on the same issue over and over? A bunch of cheap parts still adds up to a huge investment. DON'T GET ON THE PARTS MERRY GO ROUND!
5) Convert The Suspension With Strutmasters: A simple concept that works. We replace the complicated stuff with passive struts, shocks and coil springs that work great. We have helped tens of thousands of customers hang onto their vehicles for several more years with the least possible investment in the long run.
Strutmasters offers products for almost every brand of vehicle equipped with an computerized active factory suspension. The majority of our kits come fully assembled and ALL of them offer detailed instructions so you can install it yourself or speed up the process for a professional mechanic.
Don't learn the hard way like so many others! Fix It Once, Fix It Right with the original -- Strutmasters! Because Ford and Lincoln changed the set up a few times over the years, we recommend you obtain the full vehicle ID number (VIN) and call our team at 866-597-2397 BEFORE you order. They will make sure you get the correct application for your specific vehicle.
