Each wheel's suspension arm has an air spring. There are no metal springs on the Mark VIII. The front air springs are integral with the shock absorber. The rear suspension uses an air bag on each control arm. There is also a height sensor on each control arm with the air spring. The height sensor measures the ride height at that corner. The sensors are monitored by the control module mounted on the right side cowl. Each air spring also has a solenoid valve. An air compressor is mounted under the hood to supply air for the system. The compressor module also includes a filter/drier and the vent solenoid. When a low condition is sensed, the air compressor starts and the solenoid valves at the springs that are low open. This adds air to the springs causing them to raise the car. When level trim is reached, the solenoid valves close and the compressor shuts down. A high condition triggers the solenoid valves at the high springs to open and also the vent solenoid. Air exits the system lowering the car. Reaching trim closes the solenoid valves. The system has 30 second averaging so that it does not respond to normal vehicle motions. The system also won't vent when a load is removed from the car and a door is open, to avoid catching the door on a curb when the body lowers. The system also does not vent for the first 30 seconds after the ignition is turned on. After turning the ignition off, the system remains powered up for one hour and will level the body during that time unless a door is open. The system can be disabled by a switch mounted in the trunk. The system must be disabled whenever the car is raised on a hoist or jack. It's a pretty simple and robust system. The only negative is that the front spring/shock assemblies are expensive.
