OK, got some updates. Didn't get to the transmission yet, sorry about not posting back when I said. Today I installed the driver's knuckle, UCA, hub assemblies, tie rod ends, and driver's side inner tie rod. The idiots at AutoZone rented me the right tie rod tool box...but had the wrong tool...

Cool, I'll check when I get to it tomorrow. Suspension will have to wait a couple days, inner tie rods are bad and I have a couple on order from Amazon. I was planning to do transmission flushing tomorrow, anybody know which line is the return to install the magnefine?

Thanks. Any idea about the drain plug on the torque converter?

Oh of course...I'm no stranger to working on cars. The Hondas and Acuras that I toss coolers and filters on are the infamously crappy auto trans of the early 2000's. I've never seen good Ford trans either, throughout the 2000's...and I just rebuilt an '05 Taurus trans. Prescribed support is to...

Ah, I didn't know that...was thinking about it because I do a lot of this on various Hondas and Acuras. Thanks! I'll check the factory manual and see the inline filter to check the hose size. Well, I did some more research and it seems the hard shifting in lower gears, and slow P-D transition...

OK, have another question before I got to install the suspension components. The transmission is slipping and I'm going to address that first with a couple fluid drain-and-refills. Following the advice here: Transmission fill easy as pie ...I'm thinking I want to install an auxiliary cooler and...

OK, checked it out and the upper ball joint is greaseless and outer tie rods are both shot. I decided to go with Mevotech 14mm parts for now, ordered the knuckle assembly (lower ball joint), upper control arm, outer tie rods, and stabilizer bar links. I'll check back in once I have those installed.

Thanks for the reply. So the sticker says "Date: 09/01," which I take it means it has 14mm studs (until 3/11/2002, according to RockAuto). I'm checking the ball joint now. Can I buy upper control arms, lower control arms, and ball joints in 16mm and upgrade the car? I guess what I'm asking is...

Hi guys, I posted about my 2002 V6 LS problems in the Lincoln Owners forum several weeks ago but nobody responded, so I thought I'd join here :). So I recently acquired a 2002 V6 Lincoln LS for a few bucks and have a few problems that I'd like to address. First, it makes a loud squeal...
