Question type: General

airbags for the rear on an 02 Continental
everything I am finding is non self leveling air bags

airbag is that what makes it self-leveling can I just

in the car

I replaced the airbags on my '97 continental last fall, 2017. The airbags look the same on a '02. You can not use the air valves without having the matching port on the air bags. You could probably find aftermarket inline valves that might work, but by the time you spend the extra money, you're up to the cost of the original style airbags anyway. I found replacing with the original style airbags was even cheaper than getting a conversion kit. Plus I keep the original air ride functionality. Good luck.

Guru TR228. My 1997 Continental with 70,000 miles is in perfect condition except that after a period of usage, It is uneven. The right side back-end is lower and even after driving it for a few miles it does not levels. Do you recommend replacing both air bags? Any idea of the cost? Thank you.
