Q: How to Properly Maintain and Fix a Steering Knuckle on a Lincoln LS?
A: Service and repair of the steering knuckle starts with hub bearing removal followed by hub removal. You should use the hex holding feature on the stud to avoid turning it when removing its nut before disconnecting the tie-rod end from the wheel knuckle and discarding this nut. A jack stand should be used to carry the knuckle weight after you disconnect the lower control arm. The hex holding feature should be used while removing the stud to prevent turning motion since the tapered washer from the ball joint needs to stay in place. Discard the nut after you detach the knuckle from the tapered washer through the nut removal process. For safe installation of the knuckle to the upper control arm always use a jack stand to suspend the weight because without it damaging could occur. A torque prevailing design characterizes the upper arm-to-knuckle nut and the lower arm-to-knuckle nut and tie-rod-to-knuckle nut components so new nuts need to be used. Install the knuckle by putting the tapered washer onto the ball joint attachments prior to upper and lower control arm attachment to the knuckle. The installation process ends by following specified torque values in reverse order to achieve proper part retention.
Q: How to Service and Repair the Front Steering Knuckle on Lincoln Navigator?
A: Starting service and repair work on the front wheel knuckle requires first removing the wheel hub. Apply the hex holding feature on the stud when taking out the nut before breaking the tie-rod from the wheel knuckle and disposing of the nut. Discard the bolt before moving the brake hose to its place. Apply the hex holding function to stop the stud from rotating while you take off and dispose of the nut. Want to remove both pieces while throwing away the nut at this time. The ball joint separation process from the knuckle requires a loose installation of the nut followed by tapping the stud to enable nut removal and subsequent ball joint-knuckle separation with the discarded nut. Repeated use of the hex holding feature will stop the stud from turning during discarding of the wheel knuckle and nut. Reinstall the ball joint by following the removal steps in the reverse order and verify and adjust the front end alignment when needed.
Q: What steps should be taken before servicing and repairing the steering knuckle on Lincoln Town Car?
A: Before starting on the steering knuckle service or repair workers must disable air suspension electrical power to avoid unexpected air spring inflation or deflation which might cause vehicle movement. You must disable the air suspension service switch function. Begin the process by taking off the wheel bearing together with the hub. Apply the holding feature to prevent stud rotation for safe removal of nuts so that you can separate the wheel knuckle from the tie-rod. The stabilizer bar links operate under pressure in rebound positions so the suspension arms need to elevate with an appropriate jack stand to drain pressure from the stabilizer bar links. Apply holding functionality to stop the stud from rotating before you dispose of the nut and then detach the stabilizer bar link by removing the discarded nut. The retainer should be separated and the stud needs protection with the holding feature before you remove and discard the nut. Complete the replacement by discarding the nut followed by removing both the wheel knuckle and the nut. The front end alignment should be checked after installation of new components while making necessary adjustments.
