Review on Dorman 949 202 Suspension Compressor Lincoln by Justin Vasquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable product, top Amazon shipping and I can drive a truck again!

Saved over $500 compared to dealer repairs. I already had the old engine to diagnose so after 20 minutes I bolted on the new engine (3 bolts, 1 air duct) and started the car and my rear suspension was like new. The engine is exactly the same as the supercharger I pulled from a 2013 Lincoln Navigator. I think they make OEM engines and it's the same weight, frame and quality as the OEM. The new engine is much quieter and even completely new, you can hear the compressor working, but it is almost inaudible. For other installations: Check for air leaks in the hoses or airbags in front of the engine (also relays). To remove the motor, remove the passenger headlight, unscrew the passenger wheel arch liner, then attach three screws to the bracket. Remove it, the air line was tricky for me as you have to press on the orange seal and take out the air line and then the vent tube you just removed. I tested my old motor by hardwiring it to a 12v source and got no action. Aside from not being able to drive, two days delivery costs $179 versus 75X for a dealer replacement.
