Default Need help with Half working suspension

I have a 92 LS400 with air suspension, the front has sunk completely but the rears seem to be OK, and the Hight level lights have gone off on the dash. The problem was intermitent but now it looks like a race car (Front low, Back high) Does anyone have any low cost issues I can check aside from replacing the system or struts?

Thanks

If the height indicator light is out, check your fuses in the engine bay. Regarding your air suspension, replacing it with new units will not be cost effective considering the age of the car. An alternative would be to go the conventional coil spring/strut units. Check out http://www.strutmasters.com They have the most reasonably priced units I've found. The shock struts are Tokiko Blues and the coil springs are their own specs.

Good luck.

Unhappy Just Tried That

Just tried checking the fuses, they seemed OK Does anyone have any other Ideas I can try...I hate to have to replace all the struts, but I guess that maybe my only choice.

Thanks Everyone!!
