Every day when I come home from college, I see this...

Either the rear is overloaded, or is broken.

Image was taken a few months ago, before snow swept in.

Dead air suspension

Nice stance, they should do the front too.

There is a squatting navigator on my way to my sisters school that I see every morning when I drop her off. I'll get a picture next time I see it.

Someone ear me has a lowered white Navigator.

It bounds down the road. It looks horrifyingly uncomfortable.

All of them do for some odd reason.

Maybe it's because the air suspension system is disabled, when it's off?

Air ride is bad

The air compressor for the air springs in the rear siezed up. Funny thing is that it is about 45 minutes to replace it and the part is about $150 (don't quote me I'm too lazy to look it up). By running the truck like that for an extended period of time the bags are probably shot and need to get replaced which gets expensive in a hurry. The owner of this nav might be better off just getting the shocks and springs out of the rear of an expedition and calling it quits. . .

Town Cars get this as well and it makes me laugh when ever I see it because the back of the car/truck is just riding on its bumpstops and bouncing all over the place.

When you shut the air suspension off via the switch it keeps the system at the pressure it was at before you shut it down, this is a failed air bag or compressor, but the compressor is more common of a failure.

It is fantastic in the '03-'06 Navs. Like floating on a cloud. . . You just need a spare compressor for when yours inevitably fails on you.

Did navigators have load leveling or full air ride? My marauder has rear air ride

Squid > offroadkarter 01/29/2014 at 00:15

The first gens had load leveling, second gens were full air, third gens have coil springs with load leveling that came as an option later in the model run.

I'm full aware that your Marauder has the rear air springs, which I always thought was a peculiar option in a factory hot rod. I'm sure the squat of the suspension doesn't help E.T's.

The marauder has the handling & performance package (actually a bit better than the HPP if you get into the nitty gritty) and all HPP cars have air ride.

The air ride doesn't effect the already awful E.T's, the lackluster tune and lack of 4.10's certainly did though lol
