Lincoln Mark VIII Air Suspension

The Lincoln Mark VIII, or Mark 8, came with a computer controlled, four wheel air suspension system, with air struts in the front and air springs in the rear. Like all modern air suspension systems, the air is contained in rubber air bags that wear out over time and with use. When that happens, you suddenly discover that you have a very expensive repair needed to get your car back on the road, one most shops will tell you is a dealer only task.

At Suspension Alternatives, we find it sad to drive around and see these cars sitting in yards with the suspension deflated because they are too expensive to repair. We know the pleasure they are to drive and we have come up with some ways that you can afford to get your Mark back on the road.

As you look down this page, you will see two basic options. First, there is our conversion that does away with the air system and will last the life of your car. You can chose to put it on just the front or rear, or do the whole car and forget about suspension problems for as long as your car keeps running.

We also have most of the replacement air parts you need if you want to stay with an air suspension. You will find new air springs and air struts well under dealer prices, along with suspension compressors, dryers and solenoids. In fact, we have everything except air lines and the computer control modules.

Best of all, all of our parts come with instructions so you can install them yourself, saving even more by avoiding that expensive shop time. If you are handy at all around cars, you should be able to do this job. The difficulty is about the same as a brake job, and requires no special tools as our conversion struts come pre-assembled.


Mark VIII Front Conversion Struts

At last you can leave your air suspension problems behind you forever! Installing our conversion means NEVER worrying about an air leak again, while still enjoying a luxury car ride.

Pictured above are the conversion struts your for car. You will receive two front struts, fully assembled, made with all new parts and ready to bolt onto your Mark VIII. Included are full instructions on installing the struts.

No special tools or skills are required to install this kit, and most of our customers do this themselves or with the help of a friend.

Mark VIII Air Suspension Dryer



We strongly suggest that you change the dryer whenever you need to change either the air springs or the air compressor. A bad dryer can allow water to get into the springs, damaging your new investment. As the dryer gets filled with moisture, the back pressure can overload and burn out your compressor.

Your Price: $30.00


Mark 8 Air Suspension Compressor/Dryer

Our remanufactured compressors are completely disassembled and remanufactured from the ground up. We replace all the high wear parts such as bearings, sleeves, and bushings with name brand parts. Our compressors are inspected and tested numerous times before leaving the factory. We not only remanufacture them, we make them better.

There are two solenoids on a Mark VIII. One in the front and one in the rear. We have them both, and our air spring solenoids include new O'rings.
