  Q: What precautions should be taken before servicing the steering knuckle and what steps are involved in the removal and installation process on Lincoln Town Car?

  A: One must disconnect electrical power from the Air Suspension system before repair work starts on the steering knuckle since unexpected air spring inflation or deflation may cause vehicle shifts during hoisting or jacking or towing procedures. The service switch for the air suspension must be deactivated. You must begin by removing both the Wheel Bearing along with the hub. The holding feature protects the stud from rotating so remove the nut before separating the tie-rod from the wheel knuckle. Raising the suspension arms with a suitable jack stand allows you to relieve pressure on stabilizer bar links during the rebound position. Apply the holding feature to stop the stud from rotating before you discard both the nut and stabilizer bar link. Use the holding feature to stop the stud from rotating during the discarding of the nut after removing the retainer. The procedure ends with removing the nut from the wheel knuckle while discarding it. The installation of new components requires performing the opposite steps from removal and verifying front end alignment then adjusting as needed.
