1990 Imperial Air Suspension



David,  I was pricing new struts, springs and shocks. 
The price is not bad.  My concern is that if I
purchase these items, and go to install, that there
may be pieces that are needed from a donor.  Did you
run into this scenario?  Did you do the install
yourself?  

What parts do you (or anyone) have leftover after
conversion?  I am having problems with my right right
strut.  If anyone has one, please let me know a price
plus shipping to 22701.
