In the late 90's there was a ground effects kit that could be bought and installed on the 97 or 98 Mark VIIIs. The package consisted of a front spoiler/air damn, both left and right side body pieces, and a rear piece. In total, the kit had four pieces, a front, a rear and two side pieces...

My '97 Mark VIII has been in suspended animation since August 2013. After returning from several years in Ukraine assisting in the Resistance to Russian aggression, I came home only to find my air ride system totally laying down on the job. Where to start? I hear the compressor making...

1997 Mark VIII No parking or tail lights in any position of the switch. Head lights work, brake lights work, turn signals work. System Check reveals no faults and claims that if on, the tail lights are working. Could find no burned out fuses, burnt or loose wires. All bulbs are good...

My neon tail/brake lamp has not been working for a long time. I found out today that I need a new ballast. As suggested by some of our resident experts, I took the neon lamp assembly to a shop that specializes in neon lighting. At first they were wondering what to do to check the neon in...

I replaced the front struts approximately 3 1/2 years ago on the '97 Mark. Perhaps 35,000 miles later I was experiencing issues with ride height on the left rear and assumed the left rear was leaking. So I decided that I should just replace all the solenoids with the new ones from Arnott. The...

I need a 1997 Mark VIII cooling sysytem by-pass tube that runs from one side of intake to the other and has two radiator hoses attached to it and has a cap for re-filling the colling sysytem. I need the complete tube with cap and the cap must be able to be removed and re-installed. Thank you...

Never had an overheating problem with the '97 Mark VIII until now. The system has been drained and a new thermostat has been installed. All new hoses and a good 50/50 mix of new coolant and clean water has been installed. All air has been purged from the system and the heater core has been...

A falling tree limb fell on my '97 Mark VIII. A good sized dent is now in the lid on the left of center side. Is it worth trying to repair, or should I just find a good used one?

A falling tree limb fell on my '97 Mark VIII during a wind strom recently. It put a big dent in my deck lid. Not sure if it is worth trying to repair, so I am looking for a used deck lid of any color. Any help would be appreciated.

It was just a matter of time that the Neon Parking/Stoplamp would quit working. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did! Anyone know where to get a new or used working lamp and new or uesd or rebuilt ballast? Without the neon lamp, the rear tail and brake lamps are marginal at best. Any...

I have a second '97 MVII in storage in Texas. It is in storage because when I try to drive it the rear wheels spin uncontrolably without shifting power to a wheel with traction. I was given the car in lieu of an attorney fee, so I did not purchase new or used. Previous owner claimed it...

Just received a 1997 Mark VIII with 185,000 miles and lots of problems. If I cannot resolve them, it just may become a parts car for my other '97 Mark. First problem is with the rear and/or rear axles. Left rear wheel is spinning when starting from a standing stop or at very low speeds when...

Looking for the old threads that discuss the Center rear light that goes accross the rear deck panel. When the light goes out, is there a replacement available?

I have one bad motor mount on my '97 Mark. I plan on replacing both left and right mounts. However, I have been told that the mounts came stock as hydrolic mounts and that replacement mounts can be either hydrolic or solid. Since I have never had a problem with any motor mounts in any car...

Why did the Political Forum get moved? How does one access the members only section? Does that mean that you must join the club and pay dues to exercise free speech rights?

My '97 Mark VIII has a problem with the plastic trim pieces beginning to lose their finish and turn black. Short of replacing with new pieces, there must be a way to put a new finish on the trim pieces. Anyone know where the trim can be sent for re-finishing?

My windshield is dirty and my windshield washer is not spraying any cleaner onto the windshield. My washer resevoir is full. When I press the washer button, the wipers go through their cycle, but no fluid is sprayed onto the windshield. Any easy fix without replacing the pump? Clearly...

I have two Mark VIIIs and both seem to have problems with the CV joints that connect to the axles. After nearly 175,000 miles they are causing vibrations at certain highway speeds and on de-celeration from plus 70 MPH. When I went to FOMOCO to get an idea what new joints would cost, I was...

Red Box Rebel ':-) I am looking for a company that makes and/or sells ground effects kits for the '97 Mark VIII. I have seen approximately three web sites that show kits for the Mark VIII. They either do not respond to e-mail or they have had their phones disconnected. Does anyone know...
