#93 of 97 Re: BEWARE OF SAFETY RECALL #00S39-Certain 2000-2001 Model Year Lincoln LS [mommi] by expolice Oct 29, 2009 (10:36 am)
Replying to: mommi (Jun 16, 2009 12:14 pm) Mommi, Just because the ball joint failed doesn't mean it was because the ball joint nut was loose! Ball joints fail everyday. A ball joint failure at 50-60,000 miles or more is not uncommon. If the telltale signs are ignored long enough, the failure can be catastrophic, as was your experience. If you were to provide the VIN, I could tell you when/where/mileage the recall was completed, provided your vehicle was included in the original recall.   That's all I know for now...

Replying to: dsapern (Oct 23, 2009 10:29 am) Per the recall bulletin, the ball joint nut should be torqued to 150 Nm (111 lb-ft).   That's all I know for now...
#95 of 97 thinking of buying an LS by ruckus02140 Nov 09, 2009 (4:18 pm)
Is a LS a good car to buy? I was thinking of buying a used 2000-01.Does it have air suspension or springs and struts? thanks Replies to this message: akirby (Nov 10, 2009 5:29 am)

Replying to: ruckus02140 (Nov 09, 2009 4:18 pm) Springs and shocks. The 03-06 models are better. Expect to replace the COPs and possibly do a tranny repair (usually just replacing the valve body). They're great cars to drive and a great value.
#97 of 97 front sway bar bushings by pops61 Nov 10, 2009 (1:24 pm)
J C Whitney has generic sway bar bushings they say will fit my 2001 LS. Has anyone changed any lately and do you have a " how to " to pass along. For $14 they sure are tempting and if they DO work what a savings.
