  Q: How to Properly Maintain and Fix a Differential Cover on a Mercury Marauder?

  A: The first step of differential housing cover maintenance involves shutting off Air Suspension electrical power through the left-luggage compartment switch because it prevents unnecessary air spring inflation or deflation during driving. Support the automobile first then stand the differential housing cover off by removing bolts while draining the lubrication from the housing components. Both machined surfaces must be clean from oil contamination before installation while keeping inside the rear axle area sealed to avoid dirt intrusion as you perform cleaning operations. A continuous bead of silicone sealant should be applied to the differential housing cover which must be installed before the 15-minute sealant-drying time ends. The axle needs at least one hour during silicone curing time before adding lubricant. First secure the differential housing cover and thread in its bolts. The procedure for filling Traction-LOK axles requires 118 ml (4 oz) of additive friction modifier which should be added before removing the axle fill plug and ensuring tool recess cleanliness. Reinstall the fill plug after adding 1.8 liters (3.75 pints) of the right lubricant to the rear axle. You must reinitiate vehicle air suspension before carrying out a vehicle descent after installing new suspension air components.
