Rear Air Springs??
 
Who makes a good replacement air spring for the rear and also compressor?

I used these air springs: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C5AR63W/

Worked perfectly, still going strong 30k miles later. Easy to replace also. Took my friend and I 20 mins to do both sides. If you're sure the old ones are shot, the easiest way to remove them is jack up the car and puncture them with a knife or screwdriver. Saves time versus trying to loosen up the air lines at the pump with limited wrench turning space.

Are you sure you need to replace the pump as well? You could try cleaning it first and see if that helps. The intake can get clogged with road grime.

well the issue is one of the bags went flat and I believe the compressor kept running so I think it burnt out( not sure I just bought the wagon). The repair looks fairly easy and even if I have to replace the compressor also it’s all straight forward. I spent a few days just detailing her and now I’m ready to fix what’s wrong and start doing aesthetics. Thank you for the reply I didn’t think anyone would!
