What would cause one caliper not to work? The right rear, has a 'new' rotor, reman'ed caliper on it since last spring, just replaced a wheel bearing and noticed it isn't being used. As in rusty, no pad contact. Swapped hoses presuming that maybe the line had collapsed, but nope -...

Checked on Rockauto.com, they list the same part number. Tore the rack out of the 96 Tbird Sport model yesterday (parts car now), and there are 4 lines coming out. Do the Mark8's also have 4 lines? I believe two lines are for the cooler (the Tbird has one, not sure if the Mark8 does). Any...

Just put a new outer tie rod on the 94 Mark8, and have a concern about the inner tie rod. From what I understand, there is supposed to be a pin (to prevent turning?) on the inner. When installing the new one, I had to use a vicegrip on the inner's shaft to prevent it from turning as I...

To figure out wtf was wrong with my Mark. Had intermittent jerking/bucking/shuddering off and on for the two years we've been driving this 94. It sat all winter (wife was off work), and it wouldn't run properly come spring. Was ready to scrap it, my brother gave me crap - "Put a 'new'...

Having successfully refinished the headlights on my TownCar (95-97 style front end), I'm thinking of taking a stab at the Mark8's lights. It's a high-beam only car at night, and it even sucks at that now. Taking apart and cleaning up the clear plastic lense isn't my issue, it's the housings...

Have to reprogram a remote for the 94 Mark, the wife broke the only one for that car. I did search google, but wound up finding alot of garbage - no actual instructions. Already have a spare remote (from the 96 Tbird). Anybody know the procedure?

Have a set of wires coming for the Mark (3 are bad), and am wondering if they would work JUST TO TEST if the wires on my 16 valve 4.6L Tbird. Yes I know they're taller, but want to make sure I won't fry anything by using the 'wrong' kind of wires. At $200 a pop, I really don't want to buy...

How do I get into the car with two doors that won't open? I'm not paying some locksmith to get into it. Since the door handle is broken again (lasted a whole 6 months!!!), I'm gonna bust it out. Eff this car, it's given me more grief in 2 years with stupid stuff than my other rides.

What would cause this? I first suspected the old caliper of being frozen, due to pretty much zero pad/rotor wear. New pads, new rotor, new caliper. Go to bleed it, NOTHING comes out. Have verified that it's not the 'banjo' bolt, by removing the line from the new caliper. Cannot get...

As opposed to all the threads where it won't pop open... What's the fix for this problem? I'm assuming a spring somewhere has lost tension to latch it shut? Looks stupid driving down the road with the door popped.

Doing brakes on the 94, Using a clamp to squeeze the caliper piston back, to allow clearance for new pads+rotors. The piston will move in, then when pressure is released on the clamp - the piston slides out. The cap is off the fluid reservoir under the hood. What I've done for now...

Here's a new one, wifey comes home - "Car's Broken". Start it up, it pegs to 4k rpm. I try to get it to kick-down by flooring it, it drops to 2500rpm, but stays there. WTF - stuck IAC? Throttle body? TPS? Vacuum leak? Just too cold out? Can't really look at it now, have to go to work in...

Have verified that it is worn shock mounts in the rear that are causing noise. I have a package of poly-bushings for shocks, and will use them. Safe to do so? Have also noticed that this car has the ride control shocks (a 93-94 feature). Is there a way to lock them on 'firm' setting, and...

Having problems with the wipers in the Mark, thought it might be MFS, nope. Going on advice from this board to replace the motor. How the heck do you get the wiper motor out of the Mark? Does the whole tray holding it have to come out? Also will a wiper motor from a 96 Tbird work?

Whatever jack-ass designed the door handle for the Mark8 should be slapped silly, then fired - or set on fire :mad:!!! Took several hours to replace the broken handle, and it's a nightmare to do. The article on lincolnsonline.com really wasn't that helpful, but I didn't really have the...

Long story short - couldn't remove the cotter pin from the tie rod, to keep castle nut from backing off. So I tightened it down hard, with a bit of loc-tite to keep it from rotating off. But the hole for the cotter is at about the top of the nut, not level with the 'gaps' in the nut...

In a 94 Mark8 w/250k km's? Well, that's what my trip computer said. Purely highway (not even accelerating down the on-ramp), about 65mph steady. Can 34mpg really be accurate? We noticed on the way home it was about 26mpg, there was a head-wind though, as well our speed varied with...

I'm kinda doubting it, but since I have a 94 Mark8 in need of one front swaybar endlink, and have an 89 Tbird SC bar with good endlinks in the basement - was contemplating whether it'd work. Otherwise I have to shell out around $60Cdn. for a new one...

Can they be replaced, or do I need to buy a whole lower control arm? If they can be replaced, are they the same part as the Cougar/Tbird (E9SZ-3050-A)?

Did the upper ball joint on the left side yesterday, what a job that was. First a thank-you to those who have posted their results, by gleaning bits and pieces from other people's posts, I have successfully completed this task myself as well. Here's a bit of a writeup for those who in the...
