97 Mark viii base. This happened while on the freeway today. Driving at 80mph. Took my foot off the gas. Normally the rpm falls to about idle, but this time it's like the transmission was down shifting. With my foot off the gas, the engine revved to about 3k and the Trans was engaged so...

My passenger side low beam burned out. It's the original 9500 HID bulb. Dang it. High beam still works. So here I am looking for a conversion kit. I've read reviews of Xentec and Kensun kits. People seem to like Kensun better. And I think I need a 9006 HID kit for this car. Kensun...

I know I need to change the valve cover gaskets because there's oil accumulating in the spark plug holes and a little bit of seepage from the valve covers directly. The K-member has oil all over it, and I occasionally smell burning oil when I get out of the car. So something is dripping onto...

I'm working on changing my strut rod bushings. The chassis-end buhings look OK to me, but I'd rather change all of them at the same time to avoid having to take it apart again in 6 months. I've managed to find new OEM bushings for both ends of the rods, but of course can't find the sleeves...

I understand that the Moog strut rod bushings are not good. But on RockAuto they've got some ACDelco bushings (for both ends of the rod). Has anyone tried these? They are a few bucks more than the Moog bushings. (this would be for my 97 Mark)

Alright here's a cheesy question. I've recently replaced all 4 calipers (reman from Centric) and rotors and rubber brake hoses. Pads are Centric ceramic. When I installed the pads I used the anti-squeal stuff from CRC Chemicals. I used red thread locker on the bracket bolts. But over...

I know that by some this would be considered religious blasphemy and would demand the strictest of punishments and/or ex-communication from the halls of Lincoln piety (believe me, I can sympathize with this on some levels). :ban This notwithstanding, what are your thoughts on converting the...

What is the torqe spec for tightening the slide pins in the rear calipers?? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Also, when taking apart the rear calipers and compressing the piston back into the caliper, does anything special need to be done with the e-brake? I was planning on... 1...

Is there a procedure posted here for replacing the strut-rod-to-arm bushings? Any tips would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I had to remove the master cylinder so that I could replace the upper control arm. Couldn't find a way to get to the control arm bolt any other way. After removing the master cylinder I drained all the fluid out because I was planning on flushing the system anyway. Perhaps that was a mistake...

Hi, I'm a noobie to the Mark viii. Mine is leaking oil into the spark plugs...boots are soaked with oil. I guess I need a new valve cover gasket. I've read here that the right side is easy, and left side is hard. I understand there are 2 options: - remove the brake booster OR -...
