Cesarr956 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hello, folks I seem to have a problem now with the suspension. I've been told that I need the compressor (or pump) so that that car can be able to level itself when a certain amount of weight is put on the car. Anyone know where I can get this part at a cheap price. I've been given an estimate on converting the car to regular shocks/suspension but it's close to 900 dollars to do so! Thanks In Advance, Cesar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Your car already has the compressor unless someone removed it. I'm assuming the compressor does not run and the car does not level out???

Cesarr956 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 "Cadillac Seville Four wheel Suspension Conversion" Is that all I'll need replace the current suspension that I have with a regular suspension??? Cesar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I think the first thing to do is troubleshoot the compressor operation before replacing the suspension components. Check the fuse and the compressor relay. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I purchase a new compressor or just go for the reconversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 "The Guy" is obviously not familiar with the level ride system on Cadillacs and wants sell you a bunch of parts you probably do not need...... All the parts of the compressor are available as service parts. If it does not operate, the first thing to check is if it is receiving power when there is weight in the trunk. If not, it is either the relay, the fuse or one of the height sensors at the rear of the car. The factory service manual has a very detailed troubleshooting section on the compressor. There could also be a massive leak in the air tubing from the compressor to the rear shocks - check the lines closely for chafing.
