While driving struts/ shocks went out, causing levelers not to work properly. Vehicle would pull to the right, and steering became very hard. Had taken to dealership, and mechanic indicated rear shocks/struts would need to be replaced as soon as possible.

It appears to me that the 1992 lincoln continental executive series has many problems. I could not even sell it to a used car dealer due to its known defects. Rear air suspension blew out (both at the same time while driving) head gasket in an engine that gets it's oil changed every 3000 miles or so. Front hub assembly ready to fall off. Vehicle is well maintained. Air conditioning that completely became disfunctional.

The self leveling air shocks are losing air and the compressor runs all the time. I have been told that this will cost me $500 per wheel to correct. Although my car has alot of miles on it, I can't even trade it in because of the problems it has. I wonder if other lincoln owners have experienced this problem. Is this just normal wear and tear? I don't know what to do with this car.
