  Q: How to service and repair the Steering Shaft on Lincoln Mark LT?

  A: Start shaft Steering Column services by first placing the wheel straight ahead while turning off the ignition key. The first step includes uninstalling the steering column opening trim together with the cover then extracting the two dash seal bolts from the steering column shaft which needs tightening at 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.) during assembly. The process to separate the intermediate steering column shaft from the lower steering column shaft begins by removing their connecting bolt and requires a 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) torque setting upon reinstallation. Detach the dash boot bearing before breaking the connection between the steering column assembly and the intermediate steering column shaft. It is crucial to first remove the lower steering column shaft-to-steering gear bolt followed by the lower steering column shaft itself before final assembly when tightening it to 30 Nm (22 ft.lbs.). The technician will finish the procedure by removing the lower steering column shaft after detaching it from both the intermediate steering column shaft and the steering gear. Reversing the removal techniques will finish the overall process.
