2006 Lincoln Town Car Muffler Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the muffler and tailpipe on 2006 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Service on muffler and tailpipe will commence after you put the vehicle into NEUTRAL gear then mount it on a hoist. The air suspension system must have its electrical power turned off before hoisting or jacking or towing happens because unexpected air spring changes could make the vehicle change position. Operate the air suspension switch to OFF position when available. Replace the two nuts and clamp by tightening them to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.) after reinstalling. An appropriate exhaust cutter tool should help you disconnect the muffler from its attachment to the tailpipe. The isolator needs inspection for deterioration so you need to replace it if required then detach the isolator and remove the tailpipe. Complete the muffler inspection procedures again before starting its removal stage. Fasten new exhaust parts but wait to tighten them until you fully put together all components. The flanges should be drawn together evenly before finishing the fastener tightening to 33 Nm (24 ft. lbs.). Using oil-based or grease-based lubricants on the isolators should be avoided because rubber deterioration will occur which leads to exhaust hanger bracket separation during vehicle operation.
