#77 of 98 I need to change the upper ball joint. by 252hpls8 Aug 21, 2009 (1:02 pm)
My aligment is bad and is eating my front tires like crazy!! they told me that they need to change my upper ball joint first and then do the aligment. Anybody knows where i could find the upper ball joint a lot chiper than buying it from the dealer? would it be smart buying it from a junk jard?

Replying to: 252hpls8 (Aug 21, 2009 1:02 pm) Buying from a junkyard is a bad idea. Check parts suppliers online, that might save you some money. I think the ball joint is part of the upper control arm on this car, that might be why it's expensive. Replies to this message: 252hpls8 (Aug 24, 2009 1:49 pm) rup1c (Oct 08, 2009 6:19 am)

#81 of 98 BYE LINCOLN!!! by 252hpls8 Sep 17, 2009 (10:45 am)
My freaking ls just broke down AGAIN!!!! I had already changed the timing chain like about a year ago, I end up paying $650 to get it fixed. Now last week the car just died on me while driving and it didn't start after that till next day with this huge nasty noise and shaking from the motor then I knew it was done!! Mechanic tolm me it's the timing chain and that is better just to get a new motor than to fix it because it probably damage the motor but i don't have the money right now for it so i dont know wath to do!!!!!!

Replying to: 252hpls8 (Sep 17, 2009 10:45 am) A timing chain that breaks after 1 year is either a defective timing chain or a defective repair. How is that Lincoln's fault? Replies to this message: 252hpls8 (Sep 21, 2009 4:58 pm)
#83 of 98 thunking sound gone / airbags fixed by derrickburns Sep 17, 2009 (8:40 pm)
Like other 2000 LS V8 owners, I have been plagued with the thunking front end sound for years. I ordered the energy suspension part # 9.5171. They fit and the noise is gone! As others have reported, the old sway bar bushings don't even look bad. AllData quotes 1.2 hours to replace both bushings. It took my mechanic 1.5 hours. Total charge (pre-negotiated): $120 for labor.   Incidentally, I also fixed the airbag wiring under the driver seat. It took 20 minutes and $24 in parts. I did not have to remove the driver seat at all. Replies to this message: bluedevil42 (Oct 10, 2009 1:38 pm)

Replying to: japan1911 (Sep 19, 2009 6:31 pm) When I bought my LS from a Toyota dealer, they replaced the pads before I picked the car up. I had squeeling and a rattle in the front end. I took it to the Lincoln dealer because it was still under the factory warranty, and they said the other dealer used cheapo pads that didn't fit right and had improper anti-rattle clips.   They replaced them with OEM parts (at the Toyota dealer's expense) and have been trouble free since.
