Air suspension compressor

[GLHNSLHT2]

Anyone have a known working factory air suspension compressor for a a New Yorker? Mine is dead and no one around hear can repair it. Don't want to blow $325 at NAPa for a generic new one.

Let me know what you have.

Thanks!

Year??????????????????????????????

Any chance you could use a lower priced aftermarket universal compressor?

Just put some pressure in them and forget about it, isn't that what you grabbed the stuff off of my old one for? From what I remember 55psi sat perfectly level, 70psi for better launches at the track.

How soon? I want to pull the compressor off mine and just go with a valve stem. Pretty low on the priority list thou.

Year??????????????????????????????

1987 specifically but I think that any year should work.

I've thought about it but I'd like something that bolts in and allows the other functions to work automatically. If i have all my tools in the back it'd air up and if I take them out it won't be rock hard and sticking it's --- in the air.

I have that one one right now with 30psi or so in them. The trunk plugs are different from 85 to 87 so I have to slide under the car and stretch the compressor hose over to pump it up.

As soon as I can find a working one that isn't an arm and a leg.

Convert mine to have a valve stem style fill and you can have it! lol. The gas might be cheaper then shipping. haha.

nahh, the pump and drier are small and would probably easily fit in one of those USPS flat rate boxes.

Is the control unit itegrated with the pump?

[GLHNSLHT2]

The pump is on the bottom and right side. The cylinder on the upper left part is the dryer and air storage tank. So if the system needs just a bit of air it'll open and pump the system up. If it needs more then the compressor comes on. There's also more too it on the bracket that holds everything in. It's attached to the suspension to dictate how much or how little air to run. I made the rod adjustable so at the track I can just make the rod longer and it should raise the back of the car up for a race setting

[martin kolner]

FYI the 86-88 K body air suspensions are all the same.

there is also: 88-89 5th AVE,NY

and the 90-93 Imperial,Chrysler

so there are 3 different types used from 86-93.

[GLHNSLHT2]

That's what I thought about the kbody stuff which is what I need. my car is an 87 Chrysler New Yorker. Kbody/c-jet.

so do they work better at 30 psi normal? Mines missing the rod, and handles like a giant turd.

While stiffer in the back is better, raising the rear end can be detrimental to traction. If you raise the center of gravity, more weight is going to want to transfer to the rear wheels under launch. Ideally you want the whole car to be as low as possible.

distilled water? lol

[shackwrrr]

trucker bomb for comparason

[GLHNSLHT2]

50% distilled water, 50% anti-freeze. Easy to tell what it is.

[shackwrrr]

I still use green

[GLHNSLHT2]

??? That is green, that's what it looks like when it's cut 50/50 with distilled water.

Anyway can we get this thread back on track. Anyone have a compressor???

[GLHNSLHT2]

bump.
