Not sure if you are asking what a suspension is or what kind of suspension the Navigator has... I believe that most Lincoln Navigators have what is called an Air Ride Suspension... There is an air compressor in the engine compartment that pumps up air shocks in the front and air bags in the rear of the Navigator. What this is doing is basically auto leveling the vehicle. I guess the best way to describe this is that if you go pick up an overly obese person and they get in your Navigator, the Navigator will compensate for your passengers weight and add more air to the shocks/bags on their side to keep the vehicle from sitting lop sided... When your passenger would get out, then air would be released from the shock/bag on their side to level the vehicle back out.

Good answer describing the air suspension that is on these vehicles. I happen to have a 2003 Lincoln Navigator and through a long process I learned a lot about these suspension systems. With anything air you have leaks. Well one of my airbags started leaking. Easy fix right.... just replace the air bag. YEAH RIGHT!!! Not only did my air bag give out, this caused my compressor to run constantly. So there's another component in this air system that I had to replace. To make a long story short I ended up with a quote nearing $1500 for all parts from the dealer. NO WAY was I paying that much, so I started searching for more options and that's when I found Strutmasters. They are a company that made a passive non air system with coil springs to replace the air. The salesmen I dealt with took the time to explain my problem to me and helped me make a great discussion. I am now a happy Navigator owner instead of a worried one :)
