1991 park avenue, 3800 v6, auto, climate control,electronic level control [dynaride] 93k miles. Wife complains of bouncy ride. It is very bouncy on slightest bumps. Pushing down on all four corners the front two and right rear feel firm [down, up, slight settle] but the left rear bounces several time before settling. What should I look for?I understand the shocks for the elc are expensive. Can I replace them with a standard shock? How do I disable the air system. the air pump comes on and runs for quite a period when the car is turned off. Seems I saw somewhere that monroe sensatrack are a good compromise replacement.Any thoughts.
Thanks,
Don

If you have an air strut on the car, I don't know of any replacement other than another air strut...But you better do something quickly, because if that air pump burns out due to excessive run time, your in for big money!
