First and foremost, you have to be willing to pay Lincoln prices if you want to drive a Lincoln. Now, having said that, I suggest that the air ride system is not terribly complicated. Any half decent mechanic should be able to service it. The rear system is about as simple as it gets. A control module, a sensor for ride height, and a compressor to supply air to the bags. There is no such thing as setting it to one height and disconnecting it. There is a control system because there is the need for it. After all, Ford did not spend the money on it because it was not needed for the system to work. A few thoughts I had were: Did the mechanic replacing the axle remember to turn the system off while working on it? Did the sensor possibly get damaged "by mistake" because somebody forgot to unhook it before lowering the old axle out? Did the mechanic remember to re-connect the sensor after completing the repair?
It is really a simple system. Most replacement components can be found at salvage yards for low prices. Compressors have been used since the '80s on air ride systems. Lincoln Mark VIIs and Continentals had air ride as far back as 1984 - possibly back to 1981.

He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
