    HID bulb...flickering?

    So, got done replacing the blower motor control unit under the dash this evening, reconnect the battery and turn the car on to confirm the unit is working. When I do so, the drivers side light turns on but the passenger side light seems to flicker a little before not turning on. Any thoughts on...

    Blower motor not working...

    As the title says, the blower motor in my 1996 Mark is not working. I put 12 volts directly to it and it started right up. It is also not the typical wire harness issues (I have had that issue before and fixed it by lengthening the wiring harness; wiggling the harness does nothing). Any idea...

    brake problem

    The car has been up on jack stands for a few weeks while I rebuilt the rear suspension. Just before I put the car up on jack stands I started having a bad problem with the brakes. I got a hard pedal, could hear vacuum escaping in the passenger compartment and the engine would start loosing...

    any trick to getting the metal sleeve out? Or can you simply press the new bushings out of the new metal sleeve then press them in to the old sleeve on the control arm? I have the bushings from super coupe performance.

    Driveshaft stuck in place...

    I am trying to remove the DS to replace the U-joints. I removed the 4 bolts at the differential and have lowered the gas tank. The DS is wedged between the differential and the tranny.

    rear hub problem?

    Pressed out the rear hub in one of the knuckles and this is what I found (pics from my phone): There is a line where the inner race of the bearing is separated. It seems as if the portion of the hub closest to the tire was the only part ever making contact with the bearing. My question is; do...

    What would I need to rebuild the pumpkin? What would be a reasonable price on labor (assuming I remove the unit)? What would be involved in adding a LSD? What is the difference between an LSD and trac-loc (if any)?

    Lower rear control arm bushings

    Where can I get them? Would T-bird ones work? I called super coupe performance and asked about the ones they have for T-birds and cougars. The only reason they don't list them for the Mark VIII is that they haven't confirmed weather or not they will work. Is there something unique about our...

    Wierd interior parking brake light problems

    I have a 1996 Mark (Gen 1). Recently the parking brake light (on the message center) has been coming on when I turn (either way) when I brake reasonably hard, or accelerate reasonable hard. Obviously, this is happening when the parking brake is NOT engaged as well. It seems something is loose to...
