Air suspension failure. It’s happened to mine twice, which is why it now wears coils in the rear. Sadly, it rode a lot nice with the air suspension.

It was an option from about ‘85 through ‘08 (though it may have skipped some years). Never very popular.

Yeah, I just read up on Wikipedia. I have always had a low opinion of the panther platform cars (for no real reason), so I never thought it’d have something like that.

And this is how it looks when it fails. Usually the air bags dry rot, crack, leak, compressor runs more frequently to keep them filled, compressor burns out. That’s how it happened the first time. The second time the height sensor switch either broke or rusted off or... But the Ford dealer told me they couldn’t find a replacement. I call BS... of all the cars Ford made with air suspension from Panthers to full size SUV to Mk VIII to whatever... I’m sure they all used the same switch. Either way I figured avoid the hassle of future failures and just put coils on.
