Okay, I read all the info I could find, and I have a good idea of what I am doing, but need help with 3 things.
I am working on my 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII (non LSC if that matters, which I don't think will for this car).
First of all, the upper control arm nuts and bolts closest to the firewall.....
They are almost impossible to get too. Is there any tricks to make getting those 2 nuts out (driver and passenger). The airbag assembly has already been removed from the car, so I have access to both sides, and can't seem to get them out.
Second of all, there is like a swaybar link that none of the parts store say exist. I would like to replace them while I am there. Anyone know a part number, or name for them? I call them sway bar end links, but the parts store says this car does not have them, and only has a listing for sway bar bushings (like mounted to the subframe, or frame or whatever it is called on this car.... Sorry, used to working on my FWD Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme).
Last, the new LOWER control arms, there is a circle opening between the ball joint, and the strut mount. There is a metal shaft that goes through it with a massive nut on the end. Stabilizer? Anyways, the bushings that go in there (A 2-piece thing), anyone know where I can get those? Mine are rotted out and I would like to put new ones in there when done.
I did as much searching as I could, but without knowing proper names, searching for "bushing thingie" and "sway bar thingie" does not work so well.
