    Updated Steering Column Repair Thread?

    Mine just stuck in the same position; I had put a new battery in, and when I opened the door the friggin thing went to automaticallly retract the steering wheel again. I had all the automatic repositioning stuff turned off before that. Now when I try to adjust it back, the motor tries to move it...

    It belongs in a museum.

    Yes, I still have it. I had sold my Porsche 928 because I didn't want to have to do all my own work anymore, and there simply aren't a whole lot of 928 mechanics around (arthritis just makes kneeling and crawling around too painful, so, no more of that for me). The nearest American vehicles to...

    It belongs in a museum.

    Wayne Lincoln had a NOS MkVIII in their showroom for sale back in 2018 which I looked at before having second thoughts because they wouldn't work on my 1998 that had >100K miles on I had brought it in, for evaluation for alignment or brakes, as it would pull hard to one side (either left or...

    My 97 Mark VIII out for the summer

    Driver's side door handle

    I got mine off of ebay. Prices usually range from about $50 to $100 U.S.. just search, and keep the search active, and you can usually pick up the other side one as well for the lower prices. Pick one that matches yours, there are apparently two different types, one with the 'lumpy' part...

    Help required asap; Need a north NJ shop for a coil conversion on Mark 8

    Right rear going low, two episodes, and it's happening when I'm driving it. I will not have anywhere to work on it (other than on the street, which is unacceptable) nor the time for a few months, so repairing the air system is out. I am overloaded with chores already, I have to empty an...

    98 Mk8 lsc. Nj/Fl

    Hi everyone! Just settling in with my Lincoln; Have wanted one for a long time, of course couldn't afford it when new, but can, now. Back in the 90's I was married, my brother in law was a mechanic at a local L/M dealer. We would talk about working on cars (I'm not a professional mechanic like...
