You got it. I'll order them tomorrow.

I ordered OEM end links. The car has almost 150K so hopefully I can get at least half that mileage with these new ones. :)

04_Sport_LS, after seeing the car on the lift and being able to get in there and see everything, there is a lot that I will be replacing. As I've mentioned, I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I really don't like how it all looked under there and there seemed to be a lot of rust. So, I...

RigsLS, absolutely no need to apologize. I very much appreciate your concern. Once I saw how bad those end links/tie rods were I parked it. I have not driven it and I'm just waiting for the parts to come in. I do have another car and have been driving it. And I am thankful for all the...

Hello all I uploaded some photos of the rear suspension. I circled to tie rod/end links that definitely need replacing. Thanks to you guys and your suggestions I ordered from one of the sites and I should have replacement tie rods in 8 days.

I'm the original poster and I promise I'm not jerking anyone around or trying to instigate any trouble. I'm not sure how I can verify/validate my purpose for being here other than I had some general questions when I found my LS and every Google search I entered yielded this site so I figured I'd...

Probably keep the 3.9L V8.

I do like big cars that can move. I would LOVE to find a '03-'04 Mercury Marauder. I've seen a few on the road, but no one willing to part ways with them. Maybe I could put the engine from the Marauder (police interceptor) into my LS. :) Not easy I'm sure.

I've always liked the LS since it's introduction. I just like the shape of it and it's silhouette. I do plan on keeping it which is why I bought it. Mine is an '05, V8 Sport, Black on Black. All my cars are black on black. I'm sure some of my colleagues/friends would think my money could be...

Wow! I am loving all the posts/feedback/advice. And, for any concerned out there, I did do the research on these vehicles and the common problems/complaints were all pretty consistent among the different web sites/reviews. I knew I wasn't getting a perfect car and I knew there would be some...

There are 148K miles on the LS. I got the coolant flush done yesterday. I had a different place look at the rear suspension and they said that there is rust on the control arms and the bushings definitely need to be replaced. If I need to replace the shocks, I'm guessing I'll have to go...

Yes. I've viewed this site/forums because I've always wanted a Lincoln LS but if you read the internet reviews on this vehicle they aren't very good. So I check out the threads to see what the LS owners here have experienced and the help that everyone offers each other.

Also gentlemen, I'm googling the heck out of rear suspension parts. I'm not using eBay, but my knowledge of car part outlets would be Autozone, NAPA, O'Reilly's, etc. Are the any online parts stores you all could recommend? Thanks again.

Wow! I really do appreciate all your replies/suggestions/help! This website is my first social media interaction and you all have been great so far. Okay, joeger, I'll avoid the eBay kits. Do you have any suggestions/websites/stores that I can look into? 1LoudLS - as I mentioned when I...

Okay guys, so, I didn't have time to do the $120 inspection where the hook the computer to it and such, but I did the $40 Ford 40-point inspection and from that I'm told it needs a coolant flush (which you guys mentioned) and it needs rear outer tie rods; rear upper control arms, rear sway bar...

Yes sir. Appreciate the info. I made an appointment with the Ford dealership to have everything looked at today. Hopefully everything is in good order. I'll keep you posted.

Hello joegr. Thank you for the reply. It is a V8 and the previous owner put on coil packs, new spark plugs, new coolant reservoir, and I'm assuming new fluids when replacing the reservoir. I'm kind of illiterate when it comes to upgrading vehicles with performance parts and such, but I'm real...

Hello all. I just registered with this website. Been a long time lurker, first time poster(?). I just purchased a 2005 Lincoln LS Sport. It's in pretty decent shape. It's got the normal wear and tear for a car of this age (dings, scratches, paint peel, etc.). I've always wanted an LS and...
