How to Troubleshoot 1996 Lincoln Air Suspension!

Since the late 1980s Lincoln has been using air suspension in their premium line of automobiles. This innovation in automobile comfort has created a whole new line of maintenance for luxury cars. As the under car environment is harsh, modern Lincoln air suspension for a 1996 Lincoln is imperative. Troubleshooting your 1996 Lincoln’s suspension is pretty simple if you follow these easy steps. With the car in park and emergency brake on, set up your tire blocks behind the rear tires. If you have an active air suspension system, turn it off from the switch in the trunk. From under the hood, loosen the nut on the shock rod with your 9/16 hand wrench or deep well socket. Hopefully it turns easily and isn’t frozen, which would not be unusual. If this is the case, you will need the “Optional” items mentioned. Try some Rust Buster spray and work with vice grips to hold the shock rod still if it turns with the nut. The worse case scenario should be having to use a nut splitter to split open the nut for removal. Loosen the lug nuts on the tire; jack the car up high enough to fully remove the tire. Set up a jack stand under the frame of the car on the side you will be working on, but not too near to the bottom of the Front shock, since you need this area clear. Never rely on a floor jack to carry the load of the car when you will be under it.

Put on your safety glasses to avoid any debris from getting into your eyes while under the car looking up. Set up lighting under the car and then loosen the Town Car shocks. They should loosen up easily with your 9/16 socket or hand wrench. Once they are completely out, remove the shock from the bottom of the car. To install the new shock, slide a metal cup down the shock rod, bowl side facing upwards, and follow it with a rubber bushing, making sure that the metal cup embraces the rubber bushing within it’s bowl shape. Now feed the shock up from the bottom of the car and hold the bottom of the shock upward onto the mounting surface as you tighten the 2 bolts. Going back under the hood, slide the second rubber bushing and metal cup to follow, over the shock rod, making sure the rubber bushing is sitting flush on top of the mounting tower with the metal cup embracing the bushing, and then tighten down the nut until the shock rod begins to turn with the nut. Look for warning lights on the dash; electrical problems in the 1996 Lincoln models are indicated on the dash board. Use a bidirectional scan tool to track down the specific problem and reset the warning codes. Inspect the air bladders and air tubes visually. A spray bottle of soapy water can help to pin-point leaks on a system that is under pressure. Check the air compressor by hot-wiring past the relay circuit directly to the hot side of the compressor. If the compressor starts running you know it is okay.

Are You Addicted To Google Adsense?

Some Google Adsense publishers have let this simple form of making money online take over their lives. 100’s of hours are spent by these people Split test Adsense, changing and manipulating, all in the hope of making enough money to tell the boss “I’m leaving”.

54% of all Google Adsense publishers admit addiction to click income. A recent online study conducted by a small group of Google Publishers found that 54% of all Adsense publishers where addicted to the income potential of Googles Pay Per Click system.

Some Google Adsense Publishers Need Therapy
It was also found that some publishers were so addicted they where checking their Adsense statistics up to 50 times per day.

Google Adsense is a system where individuals who own content rich website’s can earn money by placing small targeted ads within the content of their website.

The ads can be customised to fit within the scheme of the website and some successful publishers can earn in excess of $200,000 per month.

One publisher stated that her addiction started the day she placed the Adsense code into her html code. “I was introduced to Adsense by my boyfriend, who makes around a $1000 a month”. She went on to say that she doesn’t blame Google for her addiction, but the fever in which forums and blogs promote the fact that anyone can become rich with this scheme inspired her to keep adding pages and checking her stats.

Kate, did state that she was earning a reasonable amount of money from Google Adsense, but told us she also spent a considerable amount of money on scripts, ebooks and promises of gaining all you would ever want to know about Adsense, from forum gurus claiming they had made their fortunes and where willing to share their secrets if you deposited $97 into their PayPal account.

Rags to Riches in 51 Days
Another publisher I spoke to told me his addiction had made him a rich man in 51 days. “I was browsing the net on October the 15th last year and came across a website that had a photo of a guy holding a Google cheque for nearly $200,000 dollars. Under the picture it stated that this was just a 1 month pay check from Google. Lights and bells went off in my head as I thought, Man, this is what I have been looking for”.

David, had been dabbling in online money making schemes for about 6 years and to date had not been very successful. But he did have 3 website’s which had 1000’s of visitors to them and after reading all he could on the subject, David placed 2 small Adsense ads on each page of his 1000 page website. “I didn’t sleep that night. I was so excited, I checked my stats every 10 minutes all night” he said. Just when he was about to give up for the night, David did his final stats check. “It was 5.50am exactly and I nearly fell off my chair. 1000 impressions, 98 clicks and a total of $18 income. I couldn’t sleep that day as I checked my stats every 15 minutes and watched the income rose to over $58 for the day. I was addicted to this thing, this scheme was going to make me rich and I wasn’t going to miss a minute of it” David said.

David had gone from $32 in his Bank account to over $6,700 in just 51 days. He had checked his stats on average 60 times per day and had spent more than 612 hours during that 51 days optimising his sites and adding content. David also admitted just like Kate that he had spent quite a bit of his profits on “how to” books, but stated that it was money very well spent.

“I am addicted to Google Adsense” Kate told me, ” but what better addiction could you have than earning money, while doing something you love”.
