Depends ;-) if you're mechanically inclined good with your hands and have a limited amount of tools, No! You're just gonna be removing the front Air-springs and installing a strut. In the rear you're gonna be removing the Air-springs ( air bags ) and installing coil springs. At the right front kick panel inside you're gonna clip a wire to stop the information center from complaining about the air ride system. A week or so of driving and you're ready for a 4-Wheel alignment. Most quality kits you buy will have detailed instructions with pictures & a hot line should you run into trouble. Not a lot of science here folks & if you've owned and driven the vehicle very long . . . you're gonna love the way it rides and handles. Be prepared to buy some suspension & linkage parts as well. if you're unfamiliar with how to check these parts? Before you start take your vehicle to a front-end alignment shop and have them check it and tell you what you need. I charge $450.00 Labor to install the kit and align the vehicle, plus any suspension parts that is needed at the time. So, for around ? ? $1400.00 ? ? you can hire the complete job done parts & Labor DRL
the air suspension stopped working on my 1994 lincoln
Yes the 1995 Lincoln Continental comes from the factory with air suspension, in which can be converted to non-air.
It sounds like your compressor was killed. What more than likely happend is that your airbag got a hole or crack in it causing the compressor to work overtime. I would recommend a conversion kit. This is a permanent fix to suspension problems. Try Strutmasters.com that is where I did my conversion about 5 years ago and have been very happy ever since. Good Luck
under the air filter box
Monroe has a coil spring conversion kit to replace the air suspension in the 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII. The part number is Monroe 90002 and it costs $457 per the RockAuto.com catalog: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?catalog=904&partnum=90002&a=wikianswers
If you are looking to replace your air suspension with a traditional coil spring setup, check out Mercury Grand Marquis and Ford Crown Victorias of the same vintage...both were based on the same chassis as the Lincoln Town Car.

To check the bags, soapy water them and if you see bubbles then you know you have a leak.
There isn't one. We spent a couple of hours installing the trailer harness connector to our 1995 continental with Scotch-Loc(R) connectors.
On the passenger side behind the wheel well liner toward the front the car.
Below the window washer bottle below the air cleaner behind the headlight on the driver's side.
On 1995 to 1997 Lincoln Continentals, there is a manual switch located in the trunk on the left side. It is an on-off rocker switch.
