Anyone have pics of the rear spindle/lca? I want to see which way the bolts and nuts are facing? Im puting the Mark LCAs on the Bird.

.................anyone? any rear susp pic might help..................

My camera busted. :mad:

However, If you go to Arnott's site and download the manual for their coil conversion, you will find loads of rear control arm pics.

nope nothing there that i can use, thanks though

Lower control arm bolts must be installed with the Torx Heads facing
the rear of the vheicle (83-113 lb/ft)
also they say you should mark the position of suspension arm
failure to do so will result in bushing wind-up on assembly causing
misalignment

damn i gotta flip the front one then. the cast iron bird arms are different in a few drastic ways where it meets the knuckle

I thought I had some back when I picked my 94 up from Mike's place. There were pics of Mike and I swapping out the rear end of his 98. But all the pices from that post are gone... Someone must have deleted all of Mikes pics..

Did not see this earlier....here is the pic....

Happy holiday

thanks max, we looked on the parts computer here too, but we all know how accurate the ford parts pics are, i knew the rear-most one the head faces the back just wasnt sure of the front-most

i hear ya on that, sometimes you spend more time looking at the diagram than you would if you just crawled under and looked, haha

too bad mines under alot of snow and the susp is vented so she is lowwwww

Well....you could shovel the snow :D

It would prolly like to go for a drive too

naw, she needs a starter too, i think she is enjoying a little nap, as i put all the miles on the explorer

i wouldn't want to take the mark into dekalb in this slop either, although there aren't very many college kids in town now, so it's a bit less likely that someone will pull out in front of you....:)

You could have used my rear hub r&r paper (http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/1wykdmk8/rearhub.html) to figure it out, and use it to put it all back together.......:D

Does anyone know also, where we can find "hot to's" or illustrated pics on doing things like changing thermostat and so fourth on the 93-96 mark VIII's?

not to sound like frogman but, search

so where do those washers go?

where we didnt put them

Ummm, how do you fix it if you didnt mark the lower suspension bushing prior to disassembly?? Uh not that I screwed it up or anything...

dunno we started from scratch, no washers on birds

arg, looked at pic at work and the washers (N807547-S100) look to be discontinued, any thing special about them?

I have that, and a few others on my tech help (http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/1wykdmk8/techhelp.html) page on my website
