I'm assuming you mean the town car and not the continental..theres a difference..the continental don't have a air ride and the town car does.if it is the town car and you're tired rear end sag...there kits available to replace the rear ride with regular springs using your shocks if you like..#1 its cheaper,#2 ithe ride is the same & 3..no more problems and easier to install..look on ebay..there are several companys that offer the whole kit for about $200.for the complete set...good luck

Just busting everyone: Continental starting in 89 I think was a stretched well equipped Taurus platform with tons of alterations like the suspension.

The Town Car was an option package on full size Continentals which ended in 1979. First car named Town Car was in 1980 which started the Panther platform for the full size Lincolns. 89 and up to ? real Continentals can rub tires if the air bags completely give out. Town Cars with those just sit so low you can't roll a golf ball under themMad
