Summary:

FORD'S answer to the air suspension problem is a system of the "open" type in which the air is exhausted from the springs to the atmosphere. It features a 2-speed automatic height and leveling control to handle differing load conditions.In adapting the air springs to the suspension arms, the front suspension was modified only slightly, while the rear was completely redesigned.The author reports that a significant improvement in passenger comfort has been achieved with the new suspension, especially for the rear seat passenger. Also, the car height remains constant under all loadingsa contribution to the car's appearance
