  Q: How to service and repair the front Sway Bar Kit on Lincoln Continental?

  A:

  A mechanic needs to disable the air suspension system electrical power through the RH kick panel area by turning off the air suspension switch before performing front sway bar kit services to avoid automatic inflation or deflation of rear air springs. Set the vehicle on a hoisting platform while placing safety stands at the back of the front sub-frame. Perform all operations with great caution near the boot seal and prevent using power tools because they can damage both bearing and seal components. Use the hex hold function to install the nut and stop the studs from rotating before taking out and discarding the sway bar link retaining nut. Place additional safety stands under the front sub-frame before removing first two bolts and the nut and bracket and secondly the two rear sub-frame retaining bolts. Drop down the rear end of the sub-frame to access the sway bar bracket until you can remove its bolts and sway bar bracket. Conclude the stabilization process by taking out both front sway bar components as well as their bushings. To install the front sway bar, position its green-colored side towards the right side of the vehicle while following the exact reverse steps of removal using power tools just like before.

  Q: How to Service the Rear Sway Bar Kit on Lincoln Continental?

  A:

  The Air Suspension system service begins with turning off the air suspension switch inside the rear jack storage area because this step prevents sudden changes in air spring inflation or deflation. The service requires hoisting the vehicle followed by wheel removal. First, loosen the nut and remove it from the stud with the hex-hold tool before taking out the nuts along with the rear sway bar kit. Rephrase the installation procedure by first unbolting the insulator bracket from the sway bar kit bracket, then removing both components together with their respective sway bar kit and insulators. Placement of the rear sway bar kit with the green color mark should face toward the right side of the vehicle before applying insulators, then inserting the bar into its position. The sway bar kit bracket and its mounting bolts should be installed while avoiding boot seal damage; use hex hold functionality to install the nut which prevents stud rotation. Install the sway bar kit link followed by nuts before putting back the wheel assembly and lowering the vehicle before switching on the air suspension service control. Proper replacement of suspension fasteners requires new parts with identical part numbers or equivalent equivalents together with following torque specifications for complete component retention.
