How to remove and install a Axleshaft on Lincoln Town Car?

Remove the wheel lug nuts, lift the vehicle's rear, support it on jack stands, and remove the wheel and brake drum. Remove the differential carrier cover and drain the lubricant. Remove the lock bolt from the differential pinion shaft and slide the pinion shaft out. Utilize a screwdriver to stop the differential case from turning. Rotate the case 180 degrees and slide the pinion shaft out until it contacts the ring gear. Remove the C-lock from the axle shaft and withdraw the axle shaft, avoiding damage to the oil seal. Don't rotate the differential while the pinion shaft is out. Reverse these steps for installation.

How do you remove the rear axle assembly on Lincoln Town Car?

To remove the rear axle assembly, first disconnect the negative battery cable and raise the rear of the vehicle, securely supporting it on jackstands. Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, block the front wheels, and remove the rear wheels. Then, proceed to remove the brake drums or calipers and discs as needed. Drain the lubricant by removing the rear axle cover and remove the ABS sensors if the vehicle is equipped with ABS. Next, take out both rear axleshafts and free the ABS sensor wires, parking brake cables, and brake lines from their clips. Remove the four bolts attaching the brake drum backing plates or torque plates to the axle housing and wire them out of the way. Unbolt the driveshaft from the differential companion flange and move it aside. Place a floor jack under the differential, raise the rear axle slightly, and secure the coil springs or disconnect the air springs. Remove the shock absorber lower mounting bolts, upper suspension arm-to-rear axle housing nuts and bolts, and disconnect the height sensor if applicable. On 1998 and later models, there are four axle-locating arms plus a Watts-linkage assembly mounted above the differential connected to two lateral arms. Lower the axle housing until the coil springs are fully extended and remove them or the air springs if present. Finally, guide the axle housing out from underneath the vehicle. To install the rear axle assembly, reverse the removal steps, ensuring proper torque and attachment of all components, including suspension arms, shock absorbers, driveshaft, brake backing plates or torque plates, and axleshafts. Fill the differential with the recommended oil, install the wheels and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque.

Lincoln Town Car Axle Shaft

The Axle Shaft of Lincoln Town Car vehicles is one that interconnects the differential to the drive wheels so that each wheel may rotate independently to obtain a better purchase on the road. There are normally two kinds of shafts or axles, the welded solid type used on contemporary trucks and older rear wheel drive cars, and the half shafts for independent suspension vehicles. Differentials and axle shafts are incorporated in the solid axles; the half shafts link the transaxle to the wheels. Axle shafts are subjected to wearing mainly by contact with the obstacles and results to such problems like noise and vibrations while the worn seals make lubricant to finish and brake to be contaminated. Finally, it can be concluded that the Axle Shaft is a critical component in the Lincoln Town Car to support the vehicle's weight, transfer torque and determine the correct positioning of wheels.

We provide a wide range of Lincoln Town Car Axle Shaft at the best prices possible. If you need Lincoln Town Car Axle Shaft, 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.
