May seem like a stupid question, but can anyone tell me if the 96 has shocks or struts? Been looking online for replacement costs, but none of the sites give me any info.

I have a '96 Deville also and it has air ride suspension. I had to replace it last year and I went with Strutmasters. It is a replacement to the air ride suspension. This has been great for my Deville. It cost me around $900 to purchase the Strutmasters kit and have a mechanic put them on. It is shock/coil spring combo in the rear and struts in the front. This is a cheaper option than going out and spending the money on the air ride.

I don''t know if mine is working or not. I had an 89 Brougham that had the level ride light that came on and I could hear the pump running. Does the 96 still have the light? No light in mine nor do I hear any pump running. Checked the fuse in the trunk it was ok. May check the relay tomorrow. Any advice?
