How to replace the Coil Springs,Control Arm,Shock Absorber,Sway Bar and Trailing Arm on Lincoln Navigator?

If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, turn off the air suspension system. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, then raise and support the rear of the vehicle. Remove the rear wheels. To remove the brake drum, spray penetration oil around the flange and studs if it's stuck due to corrosion, or remove the plug in the access hole and back off the adjuster wheel if it's locked onto the shoes due to excessive wear. Clean the brake assembly before disassembling it, then remove various components such as the secondary brake shoe retracting spring, primary shoe retracing spring, brake shoe adjusting lever, cable, guide plate, and parking brake link and spring. For shock/spring assembly replacement, position a jack under the steering knuckle, remove the nuts securing the top of the assembly, and lower the jack. Remove the lower control arm-to-spring bolt and nut, then remove the assembly. If replacing only the shock, compress the spring and remove the shock rod nut. For lower control arm replacement, disconnect the lower link nut from the Sway Bar Kit, remove the nut and bolt securing the shock/spring assembly, and remove the front and rear bushing nuts and bolts. For upper control arm replacement, remove the parking brake cable bracket bolt, upper arm-to-wheel knuckle bolt, and upper arm bushing nuts and bolts. For toe link rod removal, remove the inner end nut and knuckle nut, and remove the rod. For trailing arms removal on later models, remove the nuts and bolts securing the arms to the knuckle and frame, then install new bolts and nuts loosely. To remove the Sway Bar Kit, disconnect the end links, remove the rear suspension stone shields, and remove the Sway Bar Kit bracket-to-frame bolts. Install new nuts on the links and bracket bolts.

How to remove and install the lower control arm on Lincoln Navigator?

First of all, the front suspension has independent wheels connected to the frame with steering knuckles, ball joints, and control arms. 2WD models use coil springs and shock absorbers, while 4WD models use shocks and torsion bars. Coil springs are positioned between the frame and lower control arms on 1997-2002 models, while later models have shock absorber/coil spring assemblies. A stabilizer bar reduces vehicle roll and connects to the frame and control arms. The steering linkage includes a Pitman arm, idler arm, center link, and tie-rod assemblies. The steering knuckles differ between 2WD and 4WD models. The rear suspension on trucks has leaf springs, shock absorbers, and U-bolts attaching the axle to the springs. Rubber bushings secure the front ends of the springs to the frame, and shackles connect the rear ends to the frame.

How to remove and install the upper control arm on a Lincoln Navigator with air suspension?

This procedure applies to both 2WD and 4WD models. If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, turn off the air suspension system. The switch is located in the area of the right kick panel. Measure the height of the center of the hub to the ground before proceeding. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel. Position a floor jack, with a wood block on the jack head (to act as a cushion), under the lower control arm in the area between the spring seat and the balljoint. Raise the jack slightly to take the spring pressure off the upper control arm. Mark the position of the upper control arm camber adjustment cam. If the vehicle is equipped with a 4-wheel anti-lock brake system (4WABS), remove the bracket bolt for the wheel speed sensor wire and place the sensor wire out of harm's way. To disconnect the upper control arm from the steering knuckle, remove the cotter pin from the balljoint castle nut, loosen the nut a few turns (don't remove it), install a small puller and break the balljoint loose from the knuckle. Now remove the nut. Remove the upper control arm pivot bolts and nuts. Remove the control arm. Inspect the pivot bolt bushings for wear. If the bushings are worn, you'll have to replace the control arm. Inspect the upper balljoint seal. If it's leaking, replace the control arm. The balljoint is not serviceable. Position the arm in the frame brackets and install new bolts and nuts. They must be installed with their heads facing toward each other. Make sure the marks you made prior to disassembly are aligned, then tighten, but don't torque, the pivot bolt nuts. Attach the balljoint to the steering knuckle and tighten the ballstud nut. Reattach the 4WABS front brake anti-lock sensor wire bracket and tighten the bolt securely. Install the wheel and lug nuts, then lower the vehicle. Tighten the lug nuts. Tighten the upper arm pivot bolt nuts, front nut first. Reactivate the air suspension system, if equipped.

Lincoln Navigator Control Arm

Lincoln Navigator's Control Arm is a connecting component of the frame and wheels where other support units such as shocks and springs are present. These arms swivel in relation to the road conditions; they ensure that the wheels can turn both up and down. In the past, control arms are made of stamped steel, but the new Navigator models may incorporate stronger cast iron or aluminum. These are reinforced but may sometimes need some degree of overhaul because of the wear on the bushings and ball joints. To improve handling and aligning, performance control arms are available to accommodate the power as well as forceful command of the car. Also in terms of control arm several models are available for various road conditions; street performance, drag race and off road.

We provide a wide range of Lincoln Navigator Control Arm at the best prices possible. If you need Lincoln Navigator Control Arm, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
