Hello! I have a 2000 Lincoln Town Car Signature and recently had the two rear air shocks replaced. The suspension levels fine until there is a load in the trunk or 2 or 3 people sit in the back seat. The suspension over inflates (the back is jacked up) after this takes place and remains that way for at least 24 hours after the load or people have been removed and higher so on the passenger side. I have taken the car back to the original mechanic who said it has been fixed but I no longer have any faith in them. I would like to you get your opinions before I spend a lot of $ at the dealer. I hate to go there but think they may know what they are doing. I am guessing it is either a height sensor or control module....? Thanks in advance.

it sounds like the AIR SUSPENSION HEIGHT SENSOR and/or VENT SOLENOIDS
