Air Suspension Parts For Current Lincoln Navigator!

Strutmasters builds automotive struts and springs for cars and SUVs equipped with air suspension. We also

The current Lincoln Navigator is a full-size SUV styled and equipped for an upscale audience. It shares the
bulk of its underpinnings with the Ford Expedition, including its standard 310-horsepower 5.4-liter V8 and
six-speed automatic transmission. Navigator buyers have a choice between rear-wheel drive (2WD) and
four-wheel drive and Air suspension parts. The 4WD system offers both high- and low-range gearing, along
with “2 Hi” and “Auto 4WD” modes, allowing the driver to prioritize either fuel economy or wet-weather
traction.
The Navigator is offered in one well-appointed trim level that includes 18-inch wheels, three-row seating
for seven (with captain’s chairs in the second row), leather upholstery, multizone climate control, heated
and ventilated front seats, Sync voice activation, a power lift-gate and power-folding third-row seats. Many
of the Navigator’s options are bundled in the Elite package, which includes a moon-roof, power-deployed
running boards, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system and a voice-activated navigation system. Safety
features like stability control (with rollover avoidance logic), front-seat side airbags and curtain airbags for
outboard passengers are standard fare on all Navigators.
The ability to seat adults comfortably in all three rows of seats is the Lincoln Navigator’s greatest
advantage over other full-size competitors, most notably the Cadillac Escalade. The Navigator rear
suspension allows for a lower floor, which opens up more rear legroom while providing fold-flat capability
for the third row. The biggest downside to the Navigator is its 5.4-liter V8 - it feels a bit breathless next to
the more powerful V8s in other competing full-size luxury SUV s.
The present, third-generation Navigator took to the stage in 2007 with significant updates to the exterior
styling, frame and rear suspension, along with larger brakes, higher-quality cabin furnishings and additional
sound insulation. These changes added significantly to curb weight, but yielded tidier handling dynamics
and a quieter, more refined ride. The ‘07 refresh also brought a pronounced, chrome-heavy grille design
that was reminiscent of an early 1960s Continental as well as a similarly retro-inspired cabin design that
further differentiated the Navigator from its Expedition roots. Two years later the Navigator gained 10 more
hp, Ford’s Sync voice control system and a more advanced, hard-drive-based navigation system that
allowed voice activation. Then, for ‘10, the big SUV received Ford’s programmable “My Key” as well as
trailer sway control.
