I'm just a guy in Kansas playing around in his garage. Come along in my adventures riding, racing, modifying and repairing my small fleet of unusual misfits.

Just like last night.... It's innnnn!!!! 100% wife: You're sleeping in the driveway tonight.
100% wife at least for the time being, now what you said earlier was funny.
'Just like last night, it's in' 😄😂
Jack stands. Don’t lose you legs bro!
Best outro music in the game. Definitely Sega racing game load screen vibes. 😎
Miss my 79 Riviera, air shock woes & all. Nice to see this Buick being appreciated!
pleeaaaseeee clean those spring perches before they rot out due to sitting dirt. common failures on lesabres and bonnevilles so i assume its probably similar. keep the good vids coming up though!
at first I thought I was gonna be in for a shock-ing surprise, instead I found this vid not very uplifting
Last 45 seconds of the video was just a long sigh with words.... I’m right there with you haha. I need to replace mine but don’t want monster truck ride height 😂 the blown out shocks still ride fine as long as you don’t turn.
What about a Jack stand!?! Some numpty had to mention it. May as well be me. Another entertaining video my man. Keep up the good work.
I didn’t want to say anything, either. It’s ok as long as you don’t put any of your body parts that you don’t want to lose function of, underneath metal protrusions.
He was using the new bluetooth jack stands.
@@mitchellbarnow1709 Well, he did have both his feet under the car a couple of times, bu I guess those are not really important...
@@ulverop Maybe so!
Our Buick Lesabre is on its 3rd set of air ride shocks. Many CZcams mechanics are switching to rear springs. More expensive but last longer. Good video, thanks
Nice work on the shocks!! Fairly easy and straight forward. Now, on the the compressor!! Cheers!!
Good to see you today man
Just like last night...it's in. That's the slogan on the new merch
Should be able to also check the voltage coming from the ride height sensor with a scan tool. If I remember correctly it is set to be at approximately 2.5 volts at optimal ride height. I had a compressor short out the exhaust valve for the shocks and it took out the module that controlled that system too.
Yeah, I gotta do something about my 2003 Lincoln Town Car. The 'Air Suspension' light has just come on the dashboard.
Air springs are really easy to do on those. My 97 grand marquis took less than an hour

@@21Piloteer I never understood why people do the conversions. Like I said, its an hour job to just put new airbags in. Mine were original on my mercury with 130,000 miles. The new bags cost roughly 200 bucks, but I did put OEM arnott limo/hpp bags
As you were lifting up the rear wheel, you needed to support the lower suspension to protect the ride height sensor from being over extended. You will need to replace both sides now.
So does that mean that mechanics who put the car on a lift for any reason need to do the same somehow ? How would that happen when it’s 6’ off the ground?
OMG man, the unintentional sub-bass in this video is pretty intense! I just got myself a 15" sub and caught a glimpse of the speaker just flopping wildly at a VERY low frequency.
Pretty simple rigs require upkeep too. Great job. Love My 2003 LeSabre 3800 too, affordability man!
Did this on a 2002 deville. Couldn't believe how easy it was. Your right, absolutely nobody replaces them even though it's so easy and cheap
Good thing you bought a smoke tester!
Dorman comes to the rescue, it’s amazing they sell such obscure fasteners. They also sell those plastic pads that clip on the steering column to turn the brake light switch on and off and cancel cruise control on 99 Pathfinders.
I was gonna change oil on a 1995 park avenue one morning. I drove up the ramp then left it run to warm up. The rear of the car jacked itself up trying to level. I just went up one ramp so the oil drained better from the plug side. When I came back the low side shock had almost leveled the car. I didn't even know they had leveling until that happened.

Thanks for the video and stay safe ☺️
Jake! 100% LOVED seeing you over at JR’s shop! You two together are a great team👍 LOVE the Ultra videos. We should call you - Ultra Man‼️
🤗there's always some gremlins; these are priceless. And life goes on.
My Dad's 81 Buick Riviera had air shocks in the back, and they were nothing but trouble.
Hahaha. The end. Wow. Sorry Jake. When I did mine I had to replace the bottom hardware (all of it though) and I also replaced part of the airline with a kit from Rock Auto.
I am loving your Buick more and more.
Dude, just put down a few fluffy towels.
Maybe a plastic table cloth. I'm sure the wife won't mind.
That way, if there is a mishap with the jack, the mess should be more readily contained. Always be courteous towards those who are paid to clean up your messes after.
Thanks 👍
I miss the sir suspension on my crown Vic. The whole system took a shit. So it was gonna cost a pretty penny to fix. So I went to standard springs.
I wish somebody would air me up...
Stick with it Jake you'll get it how you want it eventually 😉👍🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲
Hope whatever the prob is, that it's not too bad
love air shocks on my el camino its great Gabriel highjackers
Make sure the little sensors that connects to the control arms are connected they like to pop off
The hoses rot after so long. Had an Olds Regency, that was my culprit
Hey Jake I’m trying to come to cars and coffee next month I hope you see you there with one of your amazing cars
In my 08 avalanche the air line going to the passenger side was plugged solid so the pump would only work on the driver side. The pump worked but it was spewing rust dust and I guess that is what plugged the line.
Couldn't see the impact wrench at first so it looked like you were taking those lugnuts off by hand. Woah!
Great video, but where is your jackstands. You can get your legs seriously messed up
on my 89 cadillac deville which uses the same shocks it turned out to be the o-ring between the compressor body and dryer, i do have a blown shock though so thats next on the list but it holds its normal height now that i've replaced the o-ring
Interesting. Hopefully the system is an easy fix. I had the rear air suspension on my 92 Crown Victoria. The previous owner had replaced the parts to keep it working. The Ford system used air springs with normal shocks. It was great with a heavy load, but I did prefer the real springs on my 89 Grand Marquis. Both had the rear antisway bar. The 92 had the Performance/Handling Package, the 89 had the Trailer Tow III Package.
The air pump is just a box above the passenger side muffler held in place with three or four bolts. I think they're $200 brand new and relatively easy to replace. The lines, if needed, are like $40
Jack Stands or take it to JR's Stripper Palace

In the future if you buy air shocks Auto Zone is the only place that you will find them that offers a lifetime warranty.
Cheap vs. Inexpensive 🤔 although, I agree! Old Money these good-old Buicks! Upkeep vs. Deferred maintenance, right. Appreciate expect some reasonable expense over time, baby. Thanks for these great aquire..keep em on road...
I love your car
prob leaking at the connection the air line connectors look worn , im getting ready to add air shocks to the rear of my bug today
I’m kind of curious if those shocks would fit on my 95 park avenue. And if so where can I get some because I did the conversion to regular shocks.
How can I tell if the compressor is the problem or the shock?
Nice blue Adidas Busenitz. Giving the black Sambas a rest?
My shocks were blown, compressor cooked and leveling valve leaked. Bought the strut/coil spring assembly.
I wanna see you collab with Westin, I bet that shit would be interesting as hell.
What’s better. This or strutmasters??
Do all last generation LeSabres and Park Avenues have air suspension in the back?
I can’t get my airline off, the retaining clip opened and the corner came off, but the line is still attached
Jack Stands?
The Aviator is what you were trying to think of
The mercury mountaineer also had the air shocks
The Aviator is a Lincoln, not a Mercury.
looks easy ...
Damn!
Never place any body part under a vehicle. No matter how well supported.
Weak.
make a video on your honda insight u dang seabiscuit
There’s a huge part of me that wants to reinstall the air shocks on my Deville. Mainly because I want service road control to go away
Jack stands. Safety first duh
Time for a haircut and a shave!
Get some jack stands please
Air shocks & air springs?
Edit: Ah! You have air shocks & coil springs
100% shave that skull Jake!!
Ah Jake the problem is it's a Buick made by gm
What about the compressor don’t you have to change it
Hey Elliot!
Hey Sock!
Air suspension - what a nightmare.
Don't EVER get under a car on just a jack! Always use jack stands, please!
You know.... some say that deez nuts are a supercharged buick....
#jackstands
I was going to change the rear shocks and front struts on my '96 Mazda until I found out that there were struts on all four corners and the rear ones are practically unobtanium unless I want to pay more than what the car is worth and gamble dealing with Chinese parts and distributors. No more fat people in the back seat I guess.
Jake keep it up. Lovin the content. If you keeping it real and owning your mistakes means you don’t have time to cut your hair, so be it!
This video was shocking.
You need to thank Hoovie for the car and all the content you been making from it since Christmas, do you daily drive this car?
Everyone complains this is an expensive fix?
I like cheese
Didn't work...Jaked it again didn't you
For heaven's sake man, JACK STANDS!! At the very least toss the wheel underneath the car...I was grimacing the whole time.
That's disappointing.
Your stretchig n chancing busting your plastic air lines plus the Spring could of took your head off. Support your rear axel. And use jack stands. Your living dangerous
i would do anything to not hear the crappy music that is playing throughout this video..
