So got up today to go to work... put the key in our 97 lincoln Mark viii lsc... nothing... just a couple clicks... over lunch hooked two cars... both fairly little... a crappy contour my neighbor had and a sable... had to do both cause one had to go back to work... charged them for about 20...

So my door handle on our 97 mark lsc busted a couple weeks ago... found the handle... got it painted and installed all for a 100 bucks... BUT... now the bezel around it busted... so the handle rattles around... and of course the part is listed as discontinued... I was just curious if anyone on...

Hello folks I have to replace my inner tie rod I was just curious how hard it is to do... I have access to a hoist so I'm thinkin I can do it myself and just take it in for an alignment afterward... shop quoted me 220 total to do it... is that worth it? thanks :D

So with the last snow fall my girl decided to get a little stuck... well I didnt notice till now that the skid plate is missing... must've broke off with all the ice... or shattered... who knows?... all that's left is a little chunk of it... I'm thinkin of just busting it off since it's hanging...

How hard are they to replace?... and how much you think I"m lookin at changing all the pads and rotors... the local service shop where a friend of mine works said they'd do it all for 500 bucks... including parts... doesn't sound that bad... but I've worked on the fronts before... machined the...

So I've been driving around without a front plate for almost a year now and over the last week I've just gotten 2 parking tickets... kinda strange all of sudden got 2... 30 bucks a pop... and both when I was parked... really dumb since I see cars all day driving around without a front plate...

I'm just kinda tryin to get a ball park estimate since my 97's all scratched up... I was wondering if it's cheaper to go flat paint then gloss... I really want to paint my car matte charcoal grey... I thought maybe it might be cheaper but then again it might not be... thanks

I went in and had a friend rotate my tires and he said the front Tie Rods need to be replaced... so I took it to a place and they wanted 50 for the parts... and then 150 for labor... for each side... that sounds kinda high... I was just curious... I was gonna go Moog if I do it myself... looks...

Ok got the front done... wasn't too bad... probably would say it was like a 5 out of ten as in the way of hardness... actually maybe more like 8 outta 10 before we got the impact driver out... :)... but my ?? is... the rear end dumped bad... it's barely clearing anything and I need to change it...

I was just curious I'm about to embark on the coil conversion journey and I was just wondering I got the whole kit but if time doesn't permit and we only get a chance to change the fronts... is there anything that's gonna be wrong with it?... has anyone else just changed the fronts?... the rear...

So I just talked to Eddie and I'm switchin over to coils... standard height... anyways is there any advice or concerns I should be aware of?... there's gonna be three guys... me and my friend are somewhat mechanically inclined... the other... he's handing us tools and fetchin the beers... but...

alright lately when I unlock my 97 mark with the key (lost the keyless doohicky) it'll unlock but the alarm goes off... I was thinking maybe something's sticking inside... any ideas?

So yeah... the front bags finally gave up... I think the ND roads up there tore them apart... so I was just curious what I'm looking at for fixing them... i guess I'll go with the 1.5 lowered coils... but how much are they?... I know to get them from American struts... but what kind of money...

So we're about to go on a trip and I took our 97' Mark in to get it inspected... they said most things are good but the upper control arm bushing's going bad... they said it wasn't cracked or anything just shows wear... so my ??'s how hard is that to change?... they gave me an estimate of 300...

I have another thread goin but nobody's answered it and there is nothing I could find about this... I think my air bag might have a leak or something... everytime I hit a bump it makes a little Tss Tss noise... it stays up and everything and it vents fine... it sounds like it might be when it...

I just noticed the other day also that my car makes a funny tss tss noise... can't really describe it better... it's kinda like air being forced out... it happens whenever I hit a bump on the drivers side... I know it's coming from the air bag but it still holds air... and it's working fine...

I came out today and noticed my passenger side mirror was cracked.... it still works and is alright but it's got a chunk taken out of the plastic and it's cracked pretty bad...

So I went to pikes peak the other day and while I was driving up there some dumba$$ tried to cut me off... anyways I sped up and didn't let him... but after I accelerated the whole car stunk like gas inside...

Alright I read about how if those little plastic screws below the windshield wipers break or wearout water can get into the cabin of the car and make your AC not work all the time... well I think that's what happens in my car... when ever it rains or I get a car wash the AC doesn't work for a...

I just read a thread about a guy that has a leak by his windshield and his blower motor works sometimes... I think his name was MegaBoink or something... but anyways... I wonder if it's the same problem... I had AC all day long yesterday... went through a car wash and poof it wouldn't blow...
