HI,
I have just purchased a 1992 liberty wagon and it has the air suspension and it was kinda working when i got it but the back end would go higher.
But now i have nothing it tells me its going up but its not and i feel like im on a bumpy horriable rollercoaster ride no mater how fast or slow im going and no matter the size of the my whole car bounces with it..................... what can i do????????????????

Turn your cap backwards, roll down your windows and pump the vanilla ice.

I would but my cap has had to be turned into a safety hemlet

Lol, gold!!

It's a common problem to have issues with the early model airbag suspension.
Replace them with proper struts/springs combo...........or coilovers

Is replacing the best options if so can i do this myself????
What kind of cost would i be looking at?

Yeah replacing them would be the best option, must more simple and reliable design.
Replacing a set of struts isn't too hard of a job, if you have basic tools...I think all you need is a jack, 17 and 19mm socket and ratchet plus breaker bar and either a 17mm or 19mm spanner and a 12mm.
I'm not too sure what to do when it comes to the airbag side of things whether you disable the air lines or whatnot - might be bit more complicated. I remember my dad replaced the rear airbags of our 92 Liberty...but I was too young to know what was going on lol.

As for price, depends what you want. Lower, stock height, better performance...?
If you go for new kyb gear...around $1500 - see here http://www.rslibertyclub.org/forums/sho ... g+air+bags
Or hit up your local jap wreckers for a second hand set. Might get some for $400. see this thread for what will fit http://www.rslibertyclub.org/forums/sho ... g+air+bags

Marnix from RSLC
Struts that will fit:

MY92-93 Legacy/Liberty
MY94-98 Legacy/Liberty
MY93-00 Impreza WRX
MY01-04 Impreza WRX

With the 92-00 WRX rears they may be a bit soggy, but if you use 92-93 Legacy coils it should be fine.

Impreza 01-04 struts give the rears a bit too much ride height and positive camber, but machining the struts a but will eliminate the latter.

^^ This.

KYB struts and King lows and your sorted.

Coilovers FTW!!

Depends on dollars OP wants to spend.

Coilovers would be easy 1/4 - 1/3 the cost of the car.....
