    MOOG end links and Energy bushings

    Hey guys. I watched my LS get driven away last night. Got $4500 cash, and though I had over twice that amount into it, I really didn't see myself getting a better offer. I plan to get an '06 someday in the future, but as of right now, my wife and kids are my priorities. On to the...

    Farewell... SORT OF... (:

    First off I'd just like to thank everyone in this great community for all of the help and education you've provided me with to make my Lincoln LS experience nothing but the absolute best. Regretfully, I've put my LS up for sale. Even worse, I've had my phone blowing up over it. So it's safe...

    Very rough morning, coolant leak and trans possible.

    So I dropped my wife off at her moms today and headed home to clean up the car. When I got finished with the inside, I was about to start on the outside when I noticed some puddles. I have coolant leaking from near the 9N499 elbow, but am yet to discover if it's from the elbow seal or if...

    Power steering fluid leak?

    Just went out for break and noticed a very small puddle under my car. The underside of the boot that covers the inner driver side tie rod is wet. Doesn't appear ripped or torn. The top side of the boot is dry. Any guesses? Heading back into work floor now, will check back soon for advice...

    Suspension overhaul

    Spring is coming soon and I just dumped $600 on suspension parts. Ordered new Moog inner and outer tie rods, front and rear end links, and energy sway bar bushings. New powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and centric pads. I also ordered a pair of rear toe links from eBay for $120. Which is the...

    Found a decent deal on some wheels.

    I made a thread a while back about picking up some new kicks for the LS. They were ungodly hideous though. I stumbled accross these however, and I think they look clean enough and for the price with tires I don't think I can pass it up. Can anyone verify that with the offset and size that they...

    Farewell for now

    Hey guys, Unfortunately the time has come and I will be selling my LS. Priorities have drastically changed. My wife is now a stay at home mom. And I'm still working 65hrs/week and only bring home $500-$550 weekly. My wife is 5 months pregnant and I'm about to have three young ones at the...

    More fun with the wife's Fusion...

    It's my birthday today... Yay. So, my wife comes home saying her car overheated while waiting at Burger King (2006 Fusion 2.3l). She said she turned it off when it got to about 3/4 on the temp gauge. She said she was waiting in line for 15min. Once she started driving again it cooled down...

    Time for alternator is approaching

    Well my LS is starting to show signs of a failing alternator I believe. Not everytime, but maybe one out of every 10 start-ups I get "Check Charging System", "Check Advance Trac", and "Service parking brake" right at the initial start. I've never had any of these come up while driving, only...

    Saving another poor soul this afternoon.

    Cool story? Maybe not. Good read? Maybe, maybe not. Anyhow, here goes... So I was dropping a friend off on the south side of Holland after picking up some Subaru parts a couple months ago when I seen a black genII LS with an '06 front fascia tucked away next to a house parked with weeds...

    Stereo headunit compatibility

    Hey guys, Some of you know, some don't, but I've now went through 3 factory OEM stereo units. The third replacement just failed. CD ERROR crap. So at $100 a pop, I'm no longer paying for what I know will continue to fail. Even despite the fact that I prefer the OEM look. So anyhow I've...

    Slight misfire when cold?

    Hey guys, Not a big issue but just noticed today that when I start my car it feels like it has a very slight misfire. I'll give the throttle a few slow revs and I can feel a subtle shaking. But not like a severe misfire issue, if it actually IS misfiring... it could only be one cylinder if...

    3.0 X Type Timing Tensioners

    Hey guys. I know this is completely unrelated to the LS but does anyone know if the timing tensioners in the '03 Jaguar X Type 3.0 V6 are plastic? For the longest time I thought the 3.0 in the LS was the same motor but apparently it's different... Unless the researching I've been doing is all...

    4x4 LS

    Thread worthy? Probably not. But if anyone is looking for a four wheel drive 2nd gen LS, all it needs is a front bumper, passenger side fender, an alternator, and a dumbass that thinks they're actually purchasing a 4x4. All this for the low price of $2000. "Its not bad on gas" "It also...

    New rims

    Found a good deal on some rims with tires. They aren't really my ideal style, for personally I'm more of an aggressive look type of guy. I like BBS, Work, HRE, Volk etc. However I found these and am picking them up tonight for $600. If I get enough "eww wtf"s by 6:00pm, I'll change my mind...

    Plans while hibernating

    Hey LvC, it's been a while. That's a good thing because I'm usually only here if I have a problem lol. Anyhow, the LS is on jackstands for the winter while I'm driving this incredibly powerful 5sp 1998 Civic LX sedan. I currently have Moog sway bar end links, Eibach pros and rotors and...

    Thanks

    I figure there's countless threads posted in this forum every week on senseless and/or covered topics. Believe me, I know, I've contriubuted lol. So this is simply a thank you. Thank you for the knowledge and patience here. If it weren't for you guys, I'd either no longer have my LS, or I'd...
