It may very well have shocks in the rear or it may have the Air Ride system. Crawl under the car and look see.
You can troubleshoot the rear air suspension of your 1990 Lincoln Town Car with a diagnostic tester. Most Lincoln dealerships have diagnostic testers.
spring struts
You have to replace with springs and shocks
To remove the air shocks on a 1999 4-wheel drive Lincoln Navigator, first, safely lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Disconnect the air lines from the shocks, being cautious of any residual air pressure. Then, remove the bolts securing the shocks to the lower control arm and the upper mounting point. Finally, take out the shocks from the vehicle and replace them with standard shocks if desired.
First, you must know that the Lincoln Towncar does not have air shocks. Instead, it has air bags. What this means is that in place of steel springs your Lincoln has rubber cushions that are filled with air, known as air bags.

No.
To disassemble air shocks on a Lincoln Mark VIII, start by safely raising the vehicle and removing the rear wheel for better access. Disconnect the air lines from the shocks and remove any mounting bolts securing the shocks to the vehicle. Carefully detach the shocks from the suspension components, and then slowly release any remaining air pressure from the shocks. Finally, remove the shock assembly from the vehicle, taking care to note the orientation for reassembly.
Depends on what you're driving. Most cars have gas shocks and some have air shocks. Air shocks are more comfortable, with an automatic leveller, as in Lincoln Continental, in my opinion.
You could do that. The air shocks would have to be manually inflated. You may run into a competition between the manually leveling system and the automatic levilng system.
if i was to fix suspension by adding shocks, i would use air shocks to compensate for the air ride
