Is this car equipped with air suspension? I've seen some of
these cars on the road that it was apparent something was wrong with the rear.
The 90 5th Ave I used to own had auto leveling rear suspension but not air
suspension as some of the Imperials did. I would think the shocks that fit the
5th Ave would fit the Imperial also.

Last evening I paid the man and brought my Imperial home.
It sure is nice to finally have a REAL Imperial (regardless of what some
might say about its Imperialistic ligitimacy) The car ran well and
drove smoothly all the way home. I did notice a few things that would
need attention soon. I noticed that the steering was heavy at idle
and the rear shocks are as good as not there. Remember Uncle Buck's
car? Mine bounces in the rear almost as much. I drove the car
straight to my mechanic's shop for a safetly inspection. This is required
to get plates and insurance here in Manitoba. My appointment was set
for next Tuesday so I was ready to just wait for the verdict. At
about 1:00 OM this afternoon, the shop called with the results. It seems
they had a slow day (very rare for that shop) and were able to get it
in. Here are the results...
