53, own a 1997 Lincoln Continental with 228,800 miles. . original motor, Ford remanufactured trans installed in 2006.

My 1997 Continental had to have a stabilizer bar joint replaced last year and it was clunking just like yours when going over bumps. The part was $60 and it cured it instantly. I can find the part number if you need it. The part that was replaced was on the drivers side rear.

rear height This 97 conti stays high in the rear as the air bags are still functioning normally. I dont notice any driving problems except for the headlights pointing down. I was hoping there was a ride adjustment setting somewhere.

I dont understand why my continental sits high in the rear. The air bags are fine, the sway bar is secure. but the car sits about 5 inches above the tire and is throwing my headlights down so far that I cant see well at night. Is there an adjustment for this elevation and if so where is it?

1997 Conti is running smooth as glass. Idles like new and accels with power. I've replaced 3 Oxygen Sensors but I am getting conflicting advice from various garages including Ford. Ford says Cat Convertor is bad, a different garage has told me to replace the 4th O2 sensor. I've just turned 219k...

I had the same shudder experience and also could make it go away by gently letting off the accelerator then pressing forward slowly. I changed the fluid and filter, but the problem got worse. The problem was my AX4N transmission. After having it replaced, the problem was solved.

51 and a 1997 Lincoln Continental

The electrical system on a 97 Linc Continental can sometimes be difficult to diagnose. I had a problem with mine this year, but I solved it. My first symptom was a red battery light coming on a lot. Sometimes for a few seconds, but often staying on for the whole trip. I discovered that the...

Mine makes noise so irregularly that I hate to even mess with it. Sounds like a groaning when turning right, but only happens sporadically and usually always within minutes of starting up.
