I' don't know either if they are Marauder specific....I mean don't the Marauder air springs rate differ fromthe Grand Marquis and or Crown Vic.? The Marauder being stiffer than Grand Marquie/Crown Vic. They most likely will fit ( pic may or may not be the actual one for the model specified) Arnott Industries also makes Air suspension stuff for panthers. I wonder if it worth getting some replacement air spring from like tasca and having them in case one day they start leaking from age and then find out the marauder specific ones are obsolete?

Arnott Industries doesn't have anything Marauder specific, just lists the Grand Marquis 1992-2011.

how would a sack of air have a rate other then psi?

[RubberCtyRauder]

Because air springs have different ratings of pounds per square inch..you just can't put crown vic lx air springs in and expect it to feel like it was before..lx air springs have less psi and the compressor doesn't know it is in a Marauder.. psi rates for lx are 89psi..HPP and MM are I believe 102 psi

MM springs are the same as the CV, GM, and Town Car. I bought some OEM ones listed for a Town Car on EBay a few months back. I paid $90 each and they had the exact same P/N as the factory MM ones I replaced.

Arnott does make a heavy duty spring for limousine Town Cars that would be interchangeable but they of course are a bit more expensive.

They show as $118 when I click the link :dunno:

So what's the part number? What's the number for the heavy duty one by Arnott?

That doesn't sound right. Doesn't adjusting the ride height bracket adjust the height and therefore fills the bag to the psi needed to raise it to that height? So really you are just adjusting the psi that enters the bag to get it to the desired ride height????

[ctrlraven]

Correct the ride height bracket is what controls how much psi is needed to inflate the air bladders to the set height.

ding ding ding! the compressors are the same as are the ride height sensors. the bags are also the same

[ctrlraven]

So from $50.99 to $118 and now $115. I guess I'll keep my eye on them and hope to find another low cost mistake or price change.

well, then go put some Kenworth airbags under there and tell me how you like it

I'm working 16 hours a day and on my phone usually so I don't have the links or P/N's readily available. Hit eBay and search for Lincoln town car air springs or search my old posts and find the link to the specific eBay seller.

For arnott they are listed on their site under the town car products. They have a billet aluminum base instead of plastic. I also had a previous thread about these approx. 6-9 months ago.

the spring is bigger duh. of course that would ride different.

[RubberCtyRauder]

Well then tell me why early panther air springs were rated at 75 psi then went to 89 psi and the HPP and MM air springs are 102 psi rating.. and then why the crown vic air spring price is less than marauder which also has a code a or code x and then why the towncar limo air spring is highest price yet. Then why does a MM ride stiffer than an lx if they are the same? The compressor has nothing to do with the air spring psi rating.

Here are the links to the parts on eBay that I mentioned earlier. Logged in during my lunch so I could get on from a computer.
