This problem pertains to the Air Suspension on my crown vic. I know that i
have a small hole in the left rear air bag however i'm a college student
and can't afford the "right" fix at the moment. The newest problem is that
the compressor that pumps up the air bags has just stopped completely and
within 10mins driving the "CHECK AIR SUSPENSION" light comes on.
I am however a mechanic student so i'm somewhat handy though
inexperienced. I've tested the simple things like fuses/relays and they're
OK I know the compressor is on the left side under the hood i just can't
locate it and if i did i wouldn't know what to do with it other than whack
it with a big hammer haha (i'm a bit frustrated with this problem) any
suggestions regarding the compressor and or patching the air bag are
greatly appreciated.

Or you could consider the conversion kit shown on the link Tom provided
- for $181. you eliminate the air - which you probably don't need.

Coil spring conversion kit. (New)
Our coil spring kit converts the air suspension system to a dependable
high quality coil spring system. Our springs are designed to give your
vehicle a smooth ride. Springs fit perfect in the seat without welding
to suspension. The kit includes detailed instruction.

That price is for the pair. Standard CV springs aren't a direct swap, these are
formed to fit the air spring mounts IIRC. It's a good alternative and should work
well, but I've never done this on a GM. The Lincoln Mark VII conversions are not
impressive and border on cheesy, those I have seen.

The job is not that difficult. I did it in the driveway a couple of years
ago. I was fortunate and got to it before the pump failed, tho. I highly
recommend finding a real FORD shop manual before starting. The directions
were clear and there are a few tricks to watch out for. Manuals can be
found on CD rom or paper on EBAY for cheap.
