    Goodbye my lincoln

    Decided to not spend $900 on rear axle suspension components and just upgrade to a 2014 kia optima SX turbo. Just gonna park the LSE (05) V8 and fix it up slowly over the years. Thanks for all the help guys.

    Etc engine fail safe mode

    Changed coils #4 and #6 (V8 2005) and not a single misfire since. Don't change them all at one time if you cannot afford it.

    Rusted out frame...

    No, the big open, rusted portion is just like my LS frame right now. I love this car and rather fix all the imperfections but $ doesn't grow on trees lol. Jacking the car up on a lift is difficult and seems unsafe according to my mechanic. Maybe I should take it to a different mechanic to be sure?

    Rusted out frame...

    So while my mechanic prepared to remove and install new rear control arms, he was alarmed by the amount of frame rust on both sides of the vehicle to the point where he told me to just scrap the car and get a new one. The rust resembles this: What should I do? Fix the control arms and ride...

    Balljoint Failure

    Going to mechanic tomorrow to get my squeaking sound checked out. I hope the bushings just need to be lubed up or I'll be dropping $400+ on control arms lol

    Suspension noise again...

    Could I just press out the old bushings and press in new ones? $680+ for a new lower control arm is kinda steep.

    Suspension noise again...

    Aftermarket if it's cheaper, I can't seem to find rear control arms in canada...

    Suspension noise again...

    Can't I just change the bushings in my upper and lower control arms instead? If so, what size do I need?

    Suspension noise again...

    Doesn't matter whichever lasts until at least 275k lol. Cheaper would be ideal.

    Suspension noise again...

    Decided to just change both rear control arms, plan on keeping the car until at least 275k (201k currently) so might as well fix it properly. I am located in Canada...with that being said, any recommended websites to order the parts from?

    Balljoint Failure

    What grease did you use? White Lithium Grease or just silicone spray?

    Suspension noise again...

    Checked your thread and the sound is almost identical to that video you posted but the sound isn't emulated when I turn the wheel only when I hit minor bumps in the road. How expensive are these rear end links and are they difficult to change yourself? Also, I sprayed the right rear control...

    Suspension noise again...

    picture says it all...part is unattached and bent upwards. My question is how did this happen? What part is this and can I change it myself without issue? This has caused loud creaking sounds in the rear for weeks.

    Blown Sub in back? Buzzing Noise!

    God, it's definitely a pain to even get at the subs 0_o I'll live with it for now until I do a complete sound system overhaul in the summer. Thanks Joe.
