2007 Lincoln Town Car Steering Knuckle Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the steering knuckle on 2007 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The repair and servicing process for a steering knuckle begins with turning off air suspension electrical power to avoid sudden air spring changes that would move the vehicle during hoisting or jacking or towing which might lead to personal injury. The user should operate the air suspension service switch to set it into OFF mode. Hoist the vehicle while it is in NEUTRAL gear position. First uninstall both the wheel bearing and wheel hub. You should activate the holding feature to stop the stud from rotating when removing the tie-rod nut before separating the tie-rod from the wheel knuckle. Install the new nut to 80 Nm (59 ft. lbs). First disconnect and throw away the upper stabilizer bar link nut through the holding feature while tightening the replacement nut to 63 Nm (46 ft. lbs) at installation. You should detach the lower stabilizer link nut followed by separating the stabilizer bar link. Toss the discarded nut and tightly install the new stabilizer bar link nut to 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs) specifications. The wheel speed sensor wiring harness retainer must be removed from the steering knuckle while the technician uses a holding feature to remove the existing upper ball joint nut and installs the new nut with torque at 150 Nm (111 ft. lbs). After removing the lower ball joint nut you should detach the wheel knuckle and discard the nut before installing the new nut with at least 150 Nm (111 ft. lbs) torque. The procedure should be reversed to install new components while checking the front end alignment followed by required adjustments.
