  Q: How to remove and install the rear coil spring on Lincoln Town Car?

  A: To remove the rear coil spring on most models, loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it on jackstands. Remove the wheels and block the front wheels. Remove the rear stabilizer bar and support the axle assembly with a jack. Disconnect the Shock Absorbers and height sensor connector link. On 1998 and later models, disconnect the lateral arms. Lower the jack, remove the safety chain, coil spring, and insulators. For installation, set the upper insulator on the spring, place the spring between its seat on the axle tube and the frame seat, raise the axle assembly, and insert the studs on the shocks into their brackets. Install the stud retaining nuts, snap the brake cable into the upper suspension arm retainer, reinstall the stabilizer bar, and connect the height sensor connector link. Install the wheels, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts. For 1982-1987 Continentals and 1984-1992 Mark Vlls, the process is similar but involves using a floor jack under the lower suspension arm axle pivot bolt.

  Q: How to remove and install front coil springs on Lincoln Town Car?

  A: To remove front coil springs on most models, excluding 1982-87 Continentals and 1984-92 Mark Vlls, raise the vehicle, remove wheels, Shock Absorber, and center link. Use a spring compressor to compress the spring and detach the lower Control Arm from the frame. For installation, secure the upper insulator on the spring with tape, position the spring on the lower control arm, align it with frame bolt holes, and loosely install pivot bolts. Reattach the center link, shock absorber, and stabilizer bar (pre-1992), install wheels, lower the vehicle, and tighten lug nuts.
