What are the crucial steps to follow when servicing the lower control arm and ensuring proper installation of suspension fasteners on 2003 Lincoln Town Car?

The repair of the lower control arm depends on understanding that essential suspension fasteners directly influence system performance and their failure produces expensive repair bills. New fasteners need installation with parts identical to the original or acceptable alternatives that prevent using substandard designs. Proper retention requires following specified torque values during reassembly and the original fastener orientation must be maintained on all rear suspension arms. It is mandatory to turn off the air suspension service switch before vehicle hoisting, jacking or towing operations so you prevent unexpected air spring inflation and deflation that could cause abnormal vehicle movement. The installation reference point consists of measuring the wheel hub center to fender lip distance when the vehicle stands on level ground. A hoisted vehicle requires the removal of its threaded hardware components along with the nut which needs disposal. After removing these three components, discard the flag nut. You can interchange the rear suspension lower arms between the sides but they should be installed with the marked "OUTBOARD" facing outward. The suspension needs to be raised by a suitable jack or jack stands before tightening the fasteners until the measurement taken during removal matches the distance between the fender lip and wheel hub center. When finished with the installation reverse all steps from removal.
