Well, I finally blew out a rusty brake line when I hit the brakes pretty hard today. I knew it was coming. I have a 1998 Mark VIII with 147,000 miles on it, park outside, live in the northeast, drive it daily and live by the ocean. All the brake lines haven't looked pretty for a while now...

Well my driver's side seat track on my 1998 Mark VIII broke. I didn't even know that was something that was fragile :( It makes a horrible clicking noise going forward or backward. Even worse, I put the e-brake on today, and the force from putting the e-brake on, pushed my seat all the way...

So, I went outside today to get in my car and the front end was not slammed? It had been sitting for 14+hours. For a little over a month my front end has been slamming every time when left for a couple of hours. What else can cause the front end to slam if the bags are still good? About a...

The new and next clunk that showed up on my Mark is my outer tie rods. It was nice weather in NJ today and I had some time to jack the car up and look around. Where/what is the best brand to buy? Should I get the Moog part #ES3169RL? Rock Auto has them for $33.79 each. Should I tackle...

This started about 1-month ago. The front bags no longer hold air for more than a couple of hours. I'm most likely going to do a spring conversion as fixing the air suspension is more than the car is worth. I won't just need front air struts, my compressor sounds like a 50-year old...

So I'm seriously considering a Trailblazer SS for the wifey. Its a 2008 with almost every option (no nav). It's AWD. It's in almost perfect condition with only 12,000 miles. This would be for my wife to drive, so the Mark VIII will be sticking around. It would be replacing her BMW 328i which...

Need some help. My gas tank is rotting away. It's to the point where it smells like gas all around the car. I've done a little research so far, and apparently it is illegal to ship a gas tank. (at least a used one). I don't want to get a local one as it will already be rusty (I live in NJ)...

I'm not sure if I can win rustiest evap tray, but I've got to be close. For those that live below the snow belt (where my replacement came from), this is what happens when you live and drive in snow/salt. I also live by the ocean so the salt air also helps to deteriorate my car a little faster...

I've got a 1998 LSC and recently lost my cruise control. I've checked all the fuses and they are good. The horn works and I don't have any air bag lights. But, I can't do the cruise diagnotics posted by mlschultz on .org. To start the cruise diagnostic mode you have to turn the key to the...

I need a right rear 98 ABS sensor. I finally got the abs codes read with the correct tool. Please let me know if you have one to sell. ChargerXR - I already sent you a PM about the one you have. For those that don't already know this is a 1998 only part. Thanks, Ken

Next problem with my car :( .... I've got a 98 LSC. After the car is warm (15-20 minutes) my speedo starts jumping around. If I'm going 60, it bounces down to maybe 40 and jumps back and forth between the speed I'm going and 15-20 mph slower. Eventually, after this happens a couple of...

I've got a check engine light with the code P0401 on my 1998. This is the only code showing. It translates at AutoZone to an EGR problem. I don't notice any driveability problems. Is this most likely a bad EGR valve? I've been searching some other posts on this problem and I'm not sure...

Taking the Mark VIII to Englishtown Raceway Park tonight! Sorry for the late notice for those that would have liked to join me. Weather looks perfect for racing, mid-40's. I just changed the plugs today (autolite 764's), I'm running the right gas, I have the right amout of gas (below 1/4...

Are the copper Autolite 764's still the spark plug of choice for these cars? That's the plugs I've been using for years, and I'm not sure if something newer or better is out there yet? I've got a basically stock 98 LSC with exhaust. It is fast for what it is, as it's run a 14.4, and I...

What did you do on Black Friday?! I opened up the old Lincoln around Lowe's Charlotte Motor Speedway.

I need some help in finding Daniel (97SilverLSCcobra). I think I might be getting scammed/robbed. :( Daniel is a long time user of LVC under the username 97SilverLSCcobra. I sent him some money, $250, on 10/18/10 to buy me a set of rims. Since that he has not sent me a set of rims or sent...

My emergency brake works fine. The cable the goes between the 2-rear tires seems really loose when the e-brake is not on. I think its bouncing around back there and hitting my sway bar, causing some clanking. Should this cable be tight with the e-brake off? Is there something in the middle...

Anybody got any pics of a Mark with these Conti rims? I've always liked these rims, but not sure if they'd look good out our cars...
