The rear air suspension self-leveling shocks usually goes bad eventually on most of them, but you can replace it with standard shocks if need be. Did your car come with special mirror option with the light sensor for automaticlly sensing and controlling when to turn the headlights on/off and setting selecting delay times. How about the seat memory option for storing multiple seat position settings for different drivers? Chrysler seemed to drop the seat memory option (one of its nicest features) on the next series of high end models (94-97 LHS).
Got the struts installed today. Took about 20 minutes per side with the Monroe Quick-Struts. Rides like new! The self-leveling rear suspension still works perfectly. The shocks may have been replaced at one point, I don't know. It has the power antenna, self-closing trunk, auto-headlight mirror with auto dimming, 2 person memory seats,and heated mirrors. The transmission had a complete rebuild performed by Coleman Taylor transmissions about 20k miles ago, and I just 'flushed' out their fluid (via cooler line and warm transmission) and filled it with ATF+4, as well as dropping the pan and changing the filter. The shifts were smooth to begin with but this improved them. Gotta have ATF+4 in my 41TE.

I wouldn't have bought it if it had the 3.0 in it. No dropped valve seats for me. The New Yorker Fifth Avenue never got the 3.0 anyway. The tranny was rebuilt and I'll be taking care of it. They aren't THAT bad. I've had several (5) (one being an early 1991 model) A604/41TE's and only 2 have been rebuilt. The others made it to 156k miles, 160k miles, and 284k miles and were still going strong.
