Hi, I am installing the braided brake hoses that are for the mark viii and honestly it has become much harder than expected. I had to cut brackets for all four corners. For anyone that has done this before your help would be greatly appreciated. The first problem I have is the bracket for the...

Hi, I tried searching the service manual and couldn't find anything on removing the inner tie rod. If anyone can post the instructions or let me know the torque spec for the tie rod for where it connects to the steering rack it would be a great help. Thanks.

I tried looking for the information and couldn't find a straight answer. Mark VIII alternators are exactly the same as a 4.6 town car and a 4.6 continental. For me it was very hard to locate a mark viii alternator here so I bought a lincoln town car alternator and it works just fine. Compared it...

I'm going to wire up the turn signals of the side mirror(gen 2) to the turn signals in the gauge cluster. If someone has the diagrams for the ground and the wire that goes to the signal i'd really appreciate it. Otherwise I will have to test and trial the wires.

Well a few weeks back I pulled apart my whole dash to try and fix the heat issue and found it wasn't the blend door. I checked the teeth of the gears in the blend door and also checked if the door moved with the rod inside the slot as i turned it by hand. Everything checked out fine. I get...

Hello guys. I actually have a very unusual problem and maybe someone may have a good idea on how to fix it. Firstly, this is a 93 lincoln mark viii that was previously owned by gman. It has aftermarket HID's installed and the wires have been cut to where the error message doesn't come. All the...

I have tried looking for information not just on the mark viii but other cars. Some research says messing with the odometer will cause damage and there are devices built-in to avoid changing of mileage. Others say use a drill. Has anyone actually forwarded their odometer on here? My car has a...

Hi guys, I'm trying to remove my upper steering cover from a 93 Mark VIII. I have the bottom cover off and the most upper lip off. I believe the whole ignition lock cylinder must be remove to do this? The service manual says to insert a 1/8 drift punch? But where? Is it located underneath where...

I'm always doing something with my 93 lately and was given the idea to put up a progress thread. This way I can keep a record of everything I've done to it in one place and maybe some Mark fans can enjoy also. I don't take much pictures but I will be more motivated now, hopefully... Bare...

Okay I know this must be a beaten down topic but I can't get this door handle off. I have removed the yellow clip but the rod attaching to the lock cylinder won't come off. Most people have had white clips that you take a c clamp off which removes the clip from the lock cylinder. However mine is...

Okay so I tried doing research on this and didn't find direct post about this. Looks like the vent at the compressor goes bad but in that case I don't know if it is clicking. My problem is that all at once my car stopped venting. The front nor the back is venting and I don't hear solenoid clicks...

Quick question. The part number for 1993-1995 transmission filter is different than 1996-1998 Mark VIIIs. I think this is because of a different pan? Are they both interchangeable? Is there a difference between replacing a trans filter/fluid in the earlier mark viiis since the tech article here...

I took off the front license plate and found this. It says Mark IV(4). So I'll just let the pictures do the talking. What is this? Safe to pull off?

I'm just curious to see how many people have the motorcraft air shocks with koni inserts in them. The inserts can't be found and so I may have to scavenge from people who have already done the conversion. BTW if anyone has converted to koni on all four corners, was it worth it? And what do you...

I just recently bought two more Mark VIIIs and was out taking pictures of them together. Thought I'd share with all the mark viii fans. They need to be cleaned but I had them all at home so I snapped a few shots. Yes I know the ivory's rims are on backwards. Phone pictures ftw.

Just interesting. I don't think it has been posted yet. http://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/cto/3554760362.html

I know about the all too common telescoping issue Mark VIII tend to have but I just bought a 98 Mark VIII and the steering wheel doesn't move and it's tilted. I'm just curious to whether this can be a mount issue? I just thought i'd get opinions here before taking it to the shop. I know it not...

I'm going to be replacing the front mount bushings for the rear differential. How hard is the process? I've done research and some question dropping the exhaust. I'm thinking about putting the car on ramps and putting a jack under the differential and loosening the bolts and then move the jack...

I know there are countless threads about air ride issues and I did a search for air ride and it's the common leaking bag issue. This issue is somewhat different. The air compressor comes on and sometimes i will get the air suspension light. So to find out if i had a leak in the system I drove...

I've searched in all areas of online parts catalogs and I can't seem to find the number for the door panel light bulb in the gen 2. The cylindrical bulb is held in tabs that have printed on them "1544" and i've searched 544 154 for a bulb type and can't find it. Anyone know the number?
