The rear suspension is not difficult to replace with new or even used air bags and solenoids. It is a good idea to replace the air lines, but before doing any of that make sure the compressor/pump is working. If you want to rid the car of the air ride suspension there are kits on the market or you can use the struts for a Mercury Cougar ont he front and a set of special coil springs on the rear. The springs are usually available are specialty parts stores. There is a savings over buying the kits whole. Best of luck!
Two things two check A)Check the 30 amp fuse under the hood What normally happens on the air suspension system on the Lincolns is that the rubber boot around the shock wears our and leaks air. When this happens, the pump is overworked and will run continuously until it overloads the circuits, which in turn causes a fuse to blow. Check the condition of the rear shocks. Your will probably find the rubber boots in poor condition and in need of replacement. B) you may get lucky :If the fuse is good Driving the car may activate the system to level the car back up again. While driving the car, stopping and starting causes the car to rock back and forth which activates the system.
