2006 Lincoln Navigator Fender Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the front fender on 2006 Lincoln Navigator?

  A: The servicing and repairing process for the Navigator front fender begins with lower fender moulding removal for power running boards but requires that you lower the running board followed by front and middle running board body bolt removal for vehicles without power running boards. When putting back the running boards apply torque of 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) on the bolts. Correct installation of the front fender-to-front bumper cover requires torquing bolts to 8 Nm (71 lb-in) while the process starts by removing the front fender splash shield screws followed by the two front fender-to-front bumper cover bolts. Secure the installation of lower fender front bolts at 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) torque when reinstalling. The replacement begins by first disconnecting electrical parts from the headlight bulb then releasing the bolts to remove both components from the vehicle. You should tighten the two front fender front bolts to 8 Nm (71 lb-in) during reassembly. Proceed to take out the two front fender inner bolts yet tighten them to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) during the installation process. You must eliminate the cowl panel grille before removing the front fender through the process of removing its four bolts while tightening them to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) for reinstallation. The installation process ends with a reverse procedure.
