To change the rear springs on a car, first ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and securely lifted with jack stands. Remove the rear wheels and then unbolt the shock absorbers and any other components obstructing access to the springs. Carefully compress the springs using a spring compressor, remove the old springs, and install the new ones. Reassemble the components in reverse order, ensuring everything is securely fastened before lowering the vehicle.

Do all 1995 town car with air ride suspension has shocks?

The shocks on the Town car are actually regular shocks front and rear and are separate from the air springs. They are fairly inexpensive. The rear has air springs rather than mechanical steel springs. Do not mess with them if they are working. Replacement air springs can be purchased from http://www.arnottindustries.com/ for around $100 each and they will last for another 10 years. If you can change spark plugs you can change an air spring. Arnott gives detailed instructions. Don't be afraid of the air suspension, it is much superior over the steel springs.
