looking at a crown?

[orestes]

so I went to look at a crown today, and have mixed thoughts about it, the guy who owns it has said that the air suspension isn't working as it should it's a uzs131 as you know these things can be temperamental...

I took it for a drive and the suspension did come up as it should however pressing on the rear end as you would to check the shocks in a normal car it felt bouncy, is this normal?

Asides from that as I said the suspension did come up, and quickly sticking my head under the car there were no visible leaks, or anything that could be heard excepting a leak from the air conditioning system which is unrelated...

I am however left wondering, the guy says it's done minimal K's it looks genuine, he says the struts are dead, and he has been told as much from suspension places. I am wondering whether this is the case, or whether it may be something else dirt?... and what the costs are like replacing struts alone if air bags are fine

I'm well aware of the other thread currently open but would prefer not to go down the path of converting to struts unless I had to, and would rather leave that topic to the original poster

Whilst I'm at it can anyone confirm what suspension actually fits a UZS131 if worst does come to worse i've heard of people doing coil over conversions, i've searched the forums but nothings really filled me in

I've seen a Crown that had airbags but were replaced with individual coil springs and shockers. A nightmare of job fitting them...

there is NOTHING that fits the UZS131 directly, execpt stock replacements.
