2007 Lincoln Town Car Differential Cover Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Differential Cover on 2007 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: You should start by turning off air suspension power from the switch located at the LH side of the luggage compartment to protect against air spring inflation or deflation. Set the NEUTRAL gear and position the vehicle on a hoist. You should remove the differential housing cover by taking out its bolts and drain out the lubricant from the differential housing. Both differential housing and cover must receive clean machining before installation while their interior surfaces should get properly covered against contamination. Use a continuous run of silicone gasket and sealant along the differential housing cover before installing it within 15 minutes to prevent needing new sealant. The silicone needs a minimum of one hour cure time to ready the axle for lubricant insertion. Caulk the differential housing cover using silicone gasket and sealant before you bolt it into place and tighten all nuts beginning from the center of the pattern to reach 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs). Proceed to install the axle tag bolts and tighten them to 31 Nm (23 ft. lbs). The procedure for adding 118 ml (4 oz) of additive friction modifier requires a clean tool recess on the Traction-Lok(R) axles before affixing the axle fill plug. The rear axle needs 2.37 liters (5.0 pints) of lubricant which must be installed with the plug getting tightness of 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs). You need to reactivate the system and lower the vehicle when it has air suspension.
