How to inspect and remove/install the Center Link,Idler Arm,Pitman Arm and Tie Rod for the Lincoln Continental?

The steering linkage connects the steering gear to the wheels via the Pitman arm, idler arm, center link, and adjustable tie-rods. Check the idler arm for looseness by raising the vehicle's front and moving it up and down. Look for damaged components. For tie-rod removal, loosen the castle nut, detach the tie-rod end from the steering knuckle, and remove the nut. Replace the tie-rod end if needed and unscrew it. Detach the inner tie-rod end from the center link, lubricate the new tie-rod end, and screw it into the adjuster sleeve. Connect it to the steering knuckle, tighten the nut, and install a new cotter pin. Reconnect the tie-rod to the center link, tighten the clamp nuts, and reinstall the wheel. To replace the idler arm, remove it from the center link, detach the idler arm-to-frame bolts, and install a new assembly, tightening bolts. Insert the idler arm into the center link, tighten, and install a new nut.
