For the love of the Mark
LVC Member
Recently I have been haveing a series of problems with my Mark VIII.
I bought It last summer and I love it more then I thought I would. It is a 93 and had 63000 on it when I first bought it.
First my air suspension took a dive so i replaced it with the lowered springs from All American Suspension( I believe this was the company). Looks great only problem is I have alot of speed bumps that I drive over everyday(3 just to get in and out of my apartment complex) and I tend to bottom out if there is too many people in the car. So I took it in for some work and an inspection and they said i needed new mounts and such.
Also my brakes are acting up. When I push down on the pedal it kind of pushes back like it doesn't want to go down with a sort of pulsationg motion. I have been told that this is because of my abs system.
And now my engine has a tendance to shut off at random times while im driveing it. I also have whine in my speakers when my radio is on which i didn't have before. This leads me to believe that it is my alternator(but I'm no mechanic so I don't know for sure). My father says it may be the cendensor(sp).
As I have mentioned I am no mechanic so I have no idea what to do with all this. So I come to you for your advice on my problems. Also I live in the Orlando Fl, area so if you are in the area and have some advice on a good shop that will be able to take a look at my problems and wont charge me a fortune(the lincoln dealership said like 95 for each check which would be like 300 for all 3 problems, and I'm a college student so I don't have that kind of cash for them to just look at my problem) I would really apreciate advice from anyone.
Thank You in advance for your time and help.
