I'm sorry I may have described it incorrectly. I ordered a quick strut, which has the spring and shock within for the fronts. The rear of the TC had an air ride setup but it was converted to spring since the previous owner decided not to get the air ride serviced.

I never knew there was a "meet up" thing going with these cars....or at least nobody ever invited me. Haha I probably wouldn't have been able to drive it out far either way. I just recently sold the LS8 and my Town Car a month ago. I sure do miss fixing her up 24/7.

Old post but yea they do. Damn car would bottom out all the time, I knew it was a long car but damn. Everybody said it looked normal but I just couldn't believe it. I put new struts in and it raised it back up.

Hahaha don't let the tie fool ya I can get down and dirty which pretty much has been the situation on every repair on the LS. Plus almost every shop said new engine and the only one who would do the repair wanted $1700.00, the car isn't even worth that....I'm cheap so it sat until work allowed...

To be fair after owning an LS if you weren't insane or at the very least a bit crazy to start with then you sure will be mind boggling insane after a few repairs. :shifty::shifty:

I would..... Bleed the system correctly, its a fun but relatively easy process that takes patience. Or else next time you're in traffic you'll be in limp mode or even worse stranded. Make sure there is no debris like leaves or dirt stuck in the radiator fins. Check fuses and relays for the...

Not sure if an add or just my experience here. I bought both secondary timing chains and tensioners from Christophers Foreign Car Parts online. I replaced them both by removing the exhaust cam. Rental tools were $100 bucks locally. Later when I replaced both master chains, 4 guides and 2...

Hey guys I hope you're having a great Sunday. so I've replaced the thermo outlet housing and now the coolant bypass pipe (pretty shot, maybe original?). Does anyone know if the small hose that sits between the outlet and pipe has an actual part # or just cut a hose to fit? I probably would...

Hmm good one. I didn't think about that. I thought it looked similar to others on the rear height. My scanner does OEM specific codes but can't pull tranny codes :(. I've called around and all the shops say to check the code they need the car to be left for a day and even longer to determine...

Actually that's what I did the other day getting all the invoices ready to put the info and repair dates on the Craigslist AD I went through them since 2011 and was depressed for a few days afterwards.....couldn't even look at her sitting there in my garage all clean and pretty. I haven't been...

I've had a bunch of cars and this one has been the most amusing. Didn't mean to insult anyone's love for them or anything of the sorts. I've dumped more money into this car than I probably ever should have so excuse my poor humor I guess. Actually I am trying to sell it for $1500 just can't...

I agree. I have one and I hate it! looks funky and spells Old Man all over it....bad enough its a TC

I've noticed the Deville owners think their cars are worth top dollar....at least in the St. Louis area. I've been told by a few folks the transmissions fail at a higher rate and the northstar engine isn't too reliable. Of course this is taking into account an old used 2003 Deville vs a 2003...

I just smile when it actually gets me home! I did have a good "break down" I was waiting for Safelite to arrive and install this godly expensive windshield so since it has been pretty cold lately I had it running in the driveway when all of a sudden I hear hissing and see a vast amount of smoke...

Probably the only smile I imagine any LS owner would make is once they're not an LS owner anymore :N

Greetings all. I have a 2003 Cartier with the fake vinyl roof top. 198k miles. Some info: I bought it with 150k miles as my daily driver and immediately started replacing the typical stuff in about a year I've almost put 50k miles as my 2nd car. I'm a Realtor so I put miles on like no other so...

UPDATE. I checked the alternator and battery all was good. I also followed the guide and checked the CPS, all was good. I took the valve covers off and the driver side was slanted a little off in comparison to the passenger side. After cursing myself out for a few minutes I took everything...

Thanks BigRigLS. I have noticed that when in idle if I press the accelerator fast it falls on its face for a few seconds. Under load no issue or if you accel normal it goes up to 3k which I believe is when the rev limiter strikes. Its just hard since the car has been sitting for a long time in...

Thank you LS4me. I will check into that. No clearing the code almost never works for me, but I did try it and nada. I took the car out for an 8 mile trip filled her up with new gas and she ran like a champ! Of course the on board MPG reads 10MPG but its always been flimsy so who knows. I do...

It has 149xxx miles. Its a decent car for 15 years of course has paint chipping in certain areas, I had tires installed and they have maybe 5k miles on them if that. Interior is great except for the cd changer doesn't function. I will remove the covers to further inspect the cam positions. I...
