    Suspension Conversion Kit

    Okay, here are my thoughts about installing the conversion kit and it's first 300 miles of driving. Installing: - Very simple, instructions are alright. However, if you are removing a spring conversion kit in the rear, they do not specify that you must also disconnect the upper control arm...

    Suspension Conversion Kit

    Thank you all for the inputs! So, I ended up going for Strut master's lowering kit. I've always wanted to lower the car, but well, without fabrication, it was looking grim. Until this kit showed up. Here's my initial review on the kit upon opening the package: -The Good The welds throughout...

    Suspension Conversion Kit

    Hello, I am finally getting around to doing larger jobs on my Mark. My first one will be a suspension overhaul. The car currently is sitting on a conversion kit, and sucks (bottoms out constantly even though the ride height it stock). So, I am looking to get a new conversion kit for all 4...

    Hydraulic Lifter Noise

    Hydraulic Lifter Noise

    Okay, thank you! Will probably run to the parts store and grab a stethoscope to hear things out. The linked discussion was very useful- missed that in my search. Based on that other discussion, I suppose that the fuel injectors are failing- been thinking that for years and seemingly they have...

    My 96 mark 8 has a burnt out compressor. Its stored in my driveway coverd The frame is touching the earth so nothing can get under to lift it up excep

    Here's my take (I bought my '97 with the spring conversion already done): - The spring conversion will lessen the body roll, handle tightly, and depending on the springs, can be stanced nicely. - However, the air suspension should be smoother for cruising and is OEM for the car. As a buyer...

    2nd Gen. front end swap to 1st Gen. (97-->94 front end)

    Okay, perfect! Anyhow, does the gen. 1 hood need any modification to fit over the gen. 2 motor? I know that the top side of the engine of the second gen is much different from the first gen.; is it taller?

    2nd Gen. front end swap to 1st Gen. (97-->94 front end)

    Hello y'all, been lurking on the forum for a couple years now, learning a bunch from y'all. Anyhow, I could use a big help in the knowledge field right now. I am looking replacing the front exterior panels on my 1997 Mark VIII LSC, such as the hood, header, bumper, and fenders- as they were...
