After the European-imported Fiesta, the Mercury Lynx was conceived as a "world car" and adopted the Ford CE14 platform, making it larger than its predecessors with a length and height increase of six and three inches respectively. This first-generation model was available in six trim levels: basic, L, GL, GS, LS, and RS, with two initial body styles: a 3-door hatchback and a 5-door station wagon. The 5-door hatchback version was introduced in 1981, and the wagon styles came with an optional imitation woodgrain Squire package for the GL and GLX trims. Positioning itself as the successor to the Mercury Bobcat, the Lynx evolved over time, introducing the Lynx Luxury Touring Sedan in 1984 as a counterpart to the Ford Escort LX. It featured an all-black grille and flush-mounted aerodynamic headlamps. In a branding alignment, the RS trim was renamed the Lynx XR3 to complement the Cougar XR78. The Lynx's journey concluded in 1987 when it was replaced by the Mercury Tracer.
The 1984 Mercury Lynx has manifested two prominent issues as it has aged. Firstly, its suspension system, initially designed for a smooth and balanced ride, can undergo changes leading to symptoms such as bounciness, lateral drifting, and peculiar noises, especially when traversing speed bumps. Addressing this requires a comprehensive inspection of various components like the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints, axles, struts, bushings, and the power steering system. Shocks and struts are central to the Lynx's suspension system, working in tandem to reduce vibrations and maintain vehicle elevation. Their degradation can manifest as excessive bouncing, swaying, or rocking. For the suspension to operate efficiently, it's imperative to maintain appropriate tire tread and pressure. Implementing routine procedures like tire rotations, wheel alignments, and monitoring the power steering fluid in accordance with Mercury's guidelines are essential for preserving optimal suspension and steering performance. Secondly, there's a noted overheating problem, which has been traced back to failures in the head gasket. Immediate signs of this issue include bubbles emerging from the radiator upon starting the vehicle. Further examination has often shown a severely warped head, necessitating its replacement. There are indications of previous interventions in some cases, with many recommendations pointing towards the adoption of a multi-layer steel gasket as a proven remedy for such overheating challenges.

Mercury Lynx Parts Questions & Answers
- Q: How do you replace sealed beam headlights and halogen bulbs on Mercury Lynx?A: To replace sealed beam headlights, first disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. Remove the headlight bezel screws and take off the bezel. Next, remove the headlight retaining screws without disturbing the adjustment screws, then take out the retainer and pull the headlight out enough to disconnect the electrical connector before removing the headlight completely. For installation, plug in the electrical connector, position the headlight, and secure it with the retainer and screws. Finally, place the headlight bezel back and install the retaining screws, ensuring to have the headlights adjusted by a dealer service department or service station as soon as possible. For halogen bulb types, open the hood and disconnect the electrical connector from the back of the bulb. Rotate the retaining ring about 1/8-turn counterclockwise and slide it off the base, then carefully pull the bulb straight out of the socket. Insert the new bulb into the socket, ensuring the flat on the plastic base is upward, align the socket locating tabs with the grooves, and push the socket firmly into the base. Slide the retaining ring on and turn it clockwise until it stops, then plug in the electrical connector, test the headlight operation, and close the hood. Adjust the headlights at a dealer service department or service station at the earliest opportunity.

Withdraw the motor and disconnect the motor's electrical connectors. Installation is the reverse of the removal with the addition of the following.

- Q: How to replace the fuel filter in Mercury Lynx?A: The fuel filter can be accessed by removing the air cleaner housing situated on the top of the carburetor for the models fitted with a carburetor. Holding the filter hex with a back-up wrench, unscrew the line. Apply thread lock and sealer to the filter threads, hand screw it into the carburetor, and tighten it using a wrench. Hand-threaded into the filter, motor oil is applied to fuel line fitting threads before being tightened securely. The air cleaner housing should then be reinstalled. For fuel-injected models, relieve fuel system pressure and locate the fuel filter in the rear right corner of your engine compartment. Put hairpin clips on hose fittings, remove them, and plug both ends of each clip off. Check hairpin clips for damage, note the arrow on the filter for direction, loosen the clamp screw then detach the filter from the bracket.
