2009 Lincoln Town Car Wheel Bearing Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the wheel bearing and wheel hub in the front suspension on 2009 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The first step for servicing the wheel bearing and wheel hub of the front suspension involves removing the wheel combined with the tire. The safety of the brake hose requires that the caliper and anchor plate assembly not be allowed to dangle free so use mechanic's wire to support them. The installation procedure requires secure tightening of caliper and anchor plate assembly bolts to 160 Nm (118 lb-ft). After discarding the brake disc you should proceed by exposing the rubber splash shield and removing the electrical connector from the wheel speed sensor. Disposal of old bolts should be accompanied by the wheel bearing and wheel hub before fastening new bolts to 120 Nm (89 lb-ft). Place the wheel speed sensor wires in front of the stabilizer bar link so they do not get damaged during installation. Reinstallation requires both the wheel speed sensor electrical connector to have a complete connection with an audible sound along with proper placement of the rubber splash shield. Conclude the installation by performing the opposite steps used in removal.
