Lincoln Mark 7 Rear Conversion Kit Installation By Lou Santiago

Описание: Master mechanic and television host Lou Santiago installs a Strutmasters rear air suspension conversion kit on a Lincoln Mark 7. This video covers 1984 to 1992 model years of the Mark VII vehicles equipped with a factory air suspension system. Lincoln Continental models with air suspension from 1984 to 1987 also had the same exact factory suspension.

Important: There may have been updates to the installation process since this video was made. Please FOLLOW THE PAPER INSTRUCTIONS that come with your Strutmasters product for the most up to date procedure. This vehicle requires converting all four wheels at once; just the rear install is shown in this particular video.

Hundreds of vehicles have shown up at the Strutmasters headquarters in North Carolina because their owner was fed up with working on the factory suspension system. Luckily, car builder and celebrity mechanic Lou Santiago was here to help this Lincoln owner convert the factory suspension and enjoy their vehicle for many more years.

We hear from a ton of Lincoln owners a month in our call center. As our suspension experts explain, with an older, high-mileage vehicle, your choices may be limited:

1) You Can Do Nothing -- Some vehicles, like the one in this video, are IMPOSSIBLE to drive when the computerized factory suspension goes bad. And if you DO keep driving the vehicle, it is DANGEROUS. Some suspension failures end very badly, even causing an accident. Lou says, FIX THE VEHICLE as soon as possible.

2) Fix It At The Dealer -- Not a good solution at all for vehicles this old. The dealers rarely have anything in stock to fit these vehicles. Lou says, PASS ON GOING TO THE DEALER.

3) Trade It or Sell It -- Good luck getting any value from an older AND undriveable vehicle. Do you really want to get rock bottom value for a vehicle you have loved so much. Lou says, DON'T GIVE AWAY A GOOD CAR!

4) Throw Parts At It -- The sooner you understand that NOT JUST ONE part is broken, but an entire system is going bad, the better. We have had thousands of customers go the route of replacement parts and regret it. ALL of these active factory suspensions are complicated and do you really want to work on the same issue over and over? A bunch of cheap parts still adds up to a huge investment. Lou says, DON'T GET ON THE PARTS MERRY GO ROUND!

5) Convert The Suspension With Strutmasters: A simple concept that works. We replace the complicated stuff with passive struts, shocks and coil springs that work great. We have helped tens of thousands of customers hang onto their vehicles for several more years with the least possible investment in the long run. Lou says, NOW YOU TALKING!

Strutmasters offers both a complete four-wheel suspension conversion kit for your Lincoln vehicle. We offer REAR or FRONT only kits since these are older vehicles and the system allows for a partial conversion. All of our kits come with detailed instructions so you can install it yourself or speed up the process for a professional mechanic.

Lou says: Don't learn the hard way like so many others! Fix It Once, Fix It Right with the original -- Strutmasters! We recommend you obtain the full vehicle ID number (VIN) and call our team at 866-597-2397 BEFORE you order. They will make sure you get the best savings and correct application for your specific vehicle.

And be sure to say Hi to Lou when you call... he loves that!
