Sorry for the non Chevy question but I'm hoping someone knows :(

Anyone know how to check the front air springs on a 1990 Contintal ?

I'm working on one that has the front end setting all the way down
I bought a Chiltons manual and it says "check the air springs" but dosent say anywhere how to check them
It does have instructions on how to replace them but at 400.00 each I would like to know if they're bad or not first

When I jacked up one side of the car, the compressor came on and ran for a while but didn't seem to do anything at all
Also there is an air valve on the compressor (just like on a tire) but when I put aproximately 75 PSI of air into it nothing happened either


:confused:

check the switch in the trunk drivers side make sure the pump is operating properly most likely the air bags are blown $$$$ if you have access to ford diagnostics the ride control connector is also in the trunk and you can run all kinds of tests there :confused: :rolleyes:

You can buy aftermarket struts for your car that eliminates the air system, go to your local parts store and ask them.

have a friend that had that happen on his and he would unplug the connector and plug it back in then they would go up and work fine for a while.

taurus front struts and springs may work :D
