Q: How to service the upper control arm on Lincoln Navigator?
A: Your first step to service the upper control arm includes using NEUTRAL gear while the vehicle sits on a hoist. The upper arm-to-wheel knuckle nut needs to be tightened to 76 lb-ft (103 Nm) upon installation before you discard it. The service of the upper arm calls for removing three components including the upper arm-to-frame bolt, washer, and camber set shim and flagnut before reassembly requires the bolt to achieve a torque of 300 Nm (221 lb-ft). Never secure the upper arm-to-frame bushing during this process until every step of installation is finalized while the wheel and tire assemblies support the vehicle weight. Installation of the upper arm should follow the removal steps in reverse while also performing necessary adjustment checks on the rear alignment. Continue with new parts carrying exactly the same identification number while applying torques according to the specified values to guarantee critical suspension performance.
Q: How to service and repair the lower control arm on Lincoln MKZ?
A: The first step in lower control arm servicing requires removing the spring from the assembly. The first step involves removing the cam adjuster nut then the cam adjuster followed by the cam bolt and lower arm with disposal of the nut. Before installing the new lower arm position the suspension at its bushing fastener tightening position while torquing the cam adjuster nut to 101 Nm (74 ft. lbs.). Before tightening any suspension bushing fasteners it is necessary to lift the suspension with a suitable jack until you reach 395 mm (15.55 inches) distance between hub center and fender lip. Tightening the cam adjuster nut must wait until you perform the rear alignment check and required adjustments. Reverse the removal steps while placing the cam bolt and cam adjuster at the upper cam position. The replacement of parts must always include new components bearing the same part numbers because inferior replacements and substitute designs can trigger severe service-related problems. The specified torque values must be maintained precisely because they determine the proper attachment of essential suspension components.
Q: How to service and repair the upper control arm on Lincoln Town Car?
A: The first step for upper control arm servicing and repairs involves supporting the vehicle then uninstalling the wheel and tire components. Position a suitable stand under the lower arm of the front suspension before letting the vehicle lower until arm movement becomes noticeable. The wheel spindle needs securement to the frame through a segment of safety wire. Begin by taking out the pinch bolt and nut before uninstalling the two nuts and bolts of the front suspension upper arm and finally removing the upper arm itself. When installing the front suspension upper arm execute all steps first until the car suspension supports the vehicle weight then tighten bolts and nuts.
