does anyone know how to adjust the ride height in the front for a 99lincoln continental with the electronic struts?....i was told it was a set of rings on the struts but there are no rings,just a control box with wires coming off it.....at lest i think thats what it is....i just reached behind the wheels didnt take them off and look.

Ok i think i should clearify a few things....this is my first conti and im not familiar with this air ride system.First,from what i can tell from not taking the wheels off,i have airbags in the back only.the front appears to be controled by electronic struts.the rear goes up when the car is running and down when its not.the front doesnt appear to move at all.if it is supposed to it isnt.now when the car is running i have about 3 and a half inches of height in the rear and the front has well over 4 inches of clearence.from looking at other posts on this matter i see the ride height can be adjusted by the censors.My question is should i drop the front or raise the rear?And if i drop the front will anything hit when i ride over potholes and such?or should the front be lower than it is anyway?and if i raise the back same questons?I would really like to know this info before i find out something is wrong the hard way and it costs me a fortune to fix.thank you all for any help you can provide.
