'92 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Air Shocks
The compressor on the air shocks runs all the time. I had to remove the fuse to stop it.
1. Where is the compressor? 2. Leveling worked 6 months ago but the compressor ran alot. Bleed valve worked also. 3. How can I find out if its just a cracked air line? I'd rather not take it to a shop unless I have to. Last edited by sonofavet; 08-13-2007 at 10:40 AM. |

Re: '92 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Air Shocks
compressor is located under the car. look under the driverside near the rear axle. I belive it is closer the the rear pass. floor board, but you can't miss it, it is mounted insidea metal box. I don't think you compressor is bad, maybe your shocks have a bad leak and need to be replaced, or you may have a bad leveling sensor, or the rod that connects the sensor to the car is not attached. The leveling sensor is mounted on the frame above the rearend, but you can't miss it either. There should be a little rod with plastic swivel sockets on each end that snap onto the sensor, and then the other end to the rearend. You can look for leaks with a spray bottle of soapy water. When yu spray around and you get a bunch of bubbles, then you found your leak. Search for leveling system, or air shocks, there is plenty here on this subject.

Re: '92 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Air Shocks
The leveler seemed to be working fine before the compressor started running constantly. But it looks like i'll have to take it somewhere so it can be put on a hoist to even see whats wrong.
P.S. Love my Roadmaster |

Re: '92 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Air Shocks
I have a 93 wagon and have noticed that one side is about 1 or 2 inches lower than the other side in the rear. How can I tell if I have a leveler? Is it in the same place as a 92? Once I find it what should I look for? I do see the fuse is still in place so I do assume I have one. Was told it would be in the number 4 spot on the fuse box.

Re: '92 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Air Shocks
In the future please start a new thread this one is too old, look and see if the wagon has air shocks, first indication, the spring on one side could be weak or that shock is inoperative.
