How to service and repair the rear lower control arm on 2001 Lincoln Continental?

Question

Accepted Answer

Before performing maintenance on the rear lower control arm you need to disable electrical power to the air suspension system to stop air spring inflation or deflation when hoisting or jacking or towing. Set the vehicle on a hoist and take off the wheel with attached tire before moving on. First cut the routing clips of shock absorber actuator wires if your vehicle has this feature. It is crucial to minimize air pressure in the spring before its extraction along with the air spring seat. When working with the boot seal and nut and bearing and seal never use power tools for these operations to protect from damage. Start by untightening the hex nut before extracting it with the hex-hold function. Begin by detaching the rear lower suspension arm stabilizer bar link before proceeding to remove its rear lower suspension arm-to-rear wheel spindle nut and washer and bolt. Finish by taking off the rear lower suspension arm-to-body nut and bolt to clear the rear lower suspension arm. The rear suspension arm adjusting cam needs replacement when it shows damage. Begin installation of the rear lower suspension arm by placing it correctly then using hand-tightened body bolts and nuts for securing it in place. Fitting the shock absorber actuator wiring requires you to reinstall the routing clips in the appropriate locations. After securing the rear lower suspension arm-to-rear wheel spindle bolt with washer and nut according to the specification fit the rear lower suspension arm-to-body nut. Reinstall the rear air spring along with its seat while ensuring the boot seal remains unharmed before you implement the hex-hold feature to install the nut. Secure the trained stabilizer bar link to the lower suspension arm then torque it to the specified values. Install all wheel and tire elements after inflating the air spring then set the air suspension service switch to on then perform necessary camber and toe measurements and adjustments.
