    wheel speed sensor

    Is this sensor the same as a continental. The ride height sensor looks the same on the one at the local pick a part. So maybe this one is too. If they are the same, I know where to get one. Otherwise, does anyone have a line on these. The last lsc I know of in the area got crushed recently...

    stuck up air ride!

    Last night I dropped a friend off at his house and was parked on an upward incline. Came out to go home and the air ride was way up. Figured it had to do with the incline and would correct itself. It hasn't. All shocks are at maximium height. Suspension is 1.5 years old. I turned air ride on...

    1997 HID light issues

    My passenger side low beam has gone dim...not out. Has anyone seen this before? I am used to old fashioned bulbs just going out and don't really want to pay a bunch for one of those if it is not even broken. If I need to replace it, are driver and passengers side bulbs the same set up? Some...

    Hisss

    A couple weeks ago, hubby, myself and our 3 (adult sized kids) were backing out of the driveway. On the way out, we heard 2 thunks from the front end (we have a very short driveway), then we bottomed (back end) out at the slope at the very end of driveway. Hubby pulled back into the drive...

    won't start/stalls

    Our Lincoln suddenly today stopped starting. It occasionally starts for a moment, then stalls. Hubby thinks it's the fuel filter. Does that sound reasonable, and if so, where is it located? It's a 97, with approx 110,000 miles.

    quick help if anyone is on right now - shifter

    My husband is trying to leave work, and he says he can't depress the button to get the car out of Park! We have 97 Mark VIII, with about 108k miles. Any hints, tips, tricks to get him home without me having to drive 50 miles to rescue him? Might be related, but he said on his way to work this...

    WTB Seat valance for 97 Mark VIII tan

    I didn't know what the part was called, but the lady at the ford dealership said it's a seat valance.... it's the plastic assembly that the driver's seat control buttons are located at. She said Ford no longer sells them, but she can get one from a reseller for $220. That seems a bit high for...

    blend door/getting screwed?

    So my blend door is broken or whatever. I just got a quote from a repair shop, they are telling me the arm can't be replaced by itself and the entire heater box needs to be replaced, to a tune of $1511.30. That doesn't seem to match what I've read about on this forum... can somebody verify that?

    4 corners down

    Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted, car has been running great until recently. A year ago May we replaced the front air bags, compressor, solonoids and o-rings. Yesterday morning I go out to the car to leave for work, and all 4 corners are slammed. Started the car, compressor...

    This really sucks

    Oh my god I'm so pissed!!!! I was actually going to post this problem on the boards earlier today, but didn't want to add to my whiny female image, so I didn't post. I got new brakes just over a month ago, cost over $400. Yesterday I noticed a "rubbing" sound in the back passenger tire...

    chirping!

    The past few days, my car has started to make a chirping sound. It has just under 75k miles on it, 97, just got new brakes and tires. New front suspension a few months ago. Now suddenly it starts making a chirping sound! It only happens going in slow speeds (under 25). When it happens, it's...

    "liquid" dripping

    In the back of the car, just inside and maybe a little behind the rear tires, I keep seeing liquid dripping. I'm not sure what it is, if it's normal, etc. We haven't had any rain in quite a while, I seem to notice it after I've been driving. I've thought maybe rear airbags getting water in...

    new tire advice needed

    It's me again, the silly female 1997 MK8 owner that doesn't know much about anything! I need new tires. Currently on the car are Michelin Pilot tires, please don't ask me anything more specific, I just don't know! I'm wondering if these are original? Car has 72k miles on them, tires are...

    brake light 97 mkviii

    Ok, I just spent $800 last week redoing the front suspension, I got news that the rims need to be replaced (chrome peel pretty bad) and now today my Check Brake Light notice came on! My left brake light doesn't light up at all, nor does my turn signal light. When I turn left blinker on, it...

    needs new rims?

    We have a 97 mark III with about 78k miles on it. It's been parked since December, due to air ride system going out. We have just ordered parts to fix that, but 2 of the tires have routinely been going flat (drivers rear and passenger front). A friend of a friend works at a tire store chain...

    replacing front air suspension

    We are ordering parts to replace front air suspension (struts, compressor, solenoids, etc). The front dropped in December, check air ride came on, we parked it and haven't moved it since. What are the chances that the rear will fail, once we get the new parts in? Is it common to replace only...
