Yes
The front suspension ride height or C dimension is adjusted be moving the front LH and or RH lower sensor attaching stud. (There are 3 adjustment positions provided on the bracket.) Loosen the attaching screw and adjust up or down as required. One position change will yield approximately 12.7 mm (.5 inch) change (up or down) to the C dimension.
There is three sensor, one in the back over the rear end right side. Two in the front behind the front struts from the body to the Aframe.
On the air springs.
Yes it does
a mark VII (7)? http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3149133
check your ride height sensor
There is no air ride in the LS,..maybe your thinking Mark VIII or Towncar??
Yes, but it's not safe
Yes, if you turn the air ride switch off in a 1997 Lincoln mark 8 you can still drive the car but this should be used as a temporary measure
There is a switch behind your glove compartment that you need to disable the sensor that controls that message.
