Lincoln Town car was the of the most dependable cars ever made👍
You have definitely done your homework. A lot of guys don’t know about the Watts link stud, it’s a nice bit of insurance. Also the KYB shocks are quality. Good show!
so basically it took me about 2 weeks and about 50 youtube videos to research this, and these guys explained it all in a few minutes :)))
You have been doing some great videos on the Panther - Town Car...great stuff!
Love the Lincoln Town Car 😎 👍 thanks for the information bro nice quality upgrades 👍
Nice car there sir....I think I will get one someday as I really enjoy the ride on them coupled with that bulletproof reliability. Although I am a truck guy mostly.
Awesome video. Thanks for all the tips.
The 97-01 navigators are crazy cheap and I'll bet they are real comfortable but I'm guessing they're cop magnets so I'll drive slow if I get one. The 4.6 town car is probably the better choice in the long run, tons of interchangeable parts from the crowns and Marquis
I just replaced the control arms in my 04 Town car. I used Moog OE replacements. My 04 Marauder has those Heinous arms installed. The ride is firm and definitely feels more composed and planted. The 1 - 2 upshift breaks the tires loose now that there is no pinion angle deflection. I love the isolated feel of the OE suspension on the Town Car, though.

is that kinda stuff is available for the older boxy type town car ?
i would lower it about an inch , use stiky tires with hard suspension
Thank you. I love my 98 Cartier. Nobody talks about stuff like this. Thanks
How are the performance upgrades since this was posted? I recently got an '02 town car and recently have found adtr.net and want some suspension upgrades. The one I bought is missing the rear sway bar completely and they did the bags to spring swap and it has 160k plus all the shocks are shot and leaking, so... That alone should tell you why I want some upgrades lol...
This is so timely,my 2008 will really benefit from these upgrades.Thank you .
Any tips on a new paint job,my roof is peeling?
Thanks for this
Well done video!
I drive an 07 Town Car bacause it DOESNT handle like a sports car!!
Total isolation & supreme comfort!!!
HAHAHAHA!!!
Very well done!
ME GRAMPS OWNS THREE LINCOLNS😊😀
Hey man would these work for a2001 town car signature? Don't know if it matters bc it's the old gen
Got a 1998 Lincoln TC trying to order the upper control arm assy (comes with Bushings and the ball Joint already installed) but there is two different options, with or without handling package. Does anyone know the difference or how to tell which one a person might have. Thanks
What engine upgrades will Give My Lincoln the most amount of hourse power

KYB, SHOCKS ARE BIG UPGRADE. 💪👊🐯🐯🐯👑👑👑🏆🏆🏆
Anyone found down pipes that work on this year Angry Panther's? I would like to ditch some cats if possible and install some flowmaster cats somewhere in the exhaust
I have a question for you do you think with those upgrade you can take Corners as fast and well as a Crown Vic. I ask because I have a 92 Lincoln Town Car that I got sitting on a 2003 Lincoln Town Car chassis. it made it handles great. the way it is now I have the marauder front struts Springs. air ride in the back that alone was a huge improvement over the 92 suspension it used to ride on. I'm mainly asking does it change the characteristics on Corning fast and cutting in and out of traffic.
With all the suspension upgrades this car handles as good as 7 series imo... I can take a cloverleaf at 70 without hitting the brakes lol
What does all of this do to the plush ride quality? Id eventually like to upgrade but dont want to make it a firm ride.
The Adventure Mazda it still rides nice but handles much differently... less sloppy feeling
Unless you start messing with the spring rates and and ride height all of those upgrades will not impact comfort.
@@mrelectron6220 I love this.
so it's a "firm" plush :)
The famous 95 MERC was set up for long-distance, high-speed cruising throughout the deserts and mountains of the American West. Coast-to-coast trips are swift and comfortable, with no exhaust droning.

What’s the panther platform ?
Any help would be appreciated, I have 2000 town car signature series I’m looking to add some pep where do I start??
Samkitts, adding pep to these cars or any for that matter is not a cheap endeavor. But some of the easiest are the installation of a pi intake on a non pi motor will add some HP at min cost if you have the single exhaust set up replace with the dual system those two will give you a noticeable increase. Also depending on your year getting a Pi air intake system from a 04 crown vic will add some HP along with the the air box and the 80mm maf. You can google this stuff and check out the results. Don't waste your $$ CAI with a cone the air boxes on these 04's will support 300HP thats more than your stock 4.6 is going to make even with the mentioned add ons. These are the cheapest ways there is also ripping your motor down and install a full PI top end which would net you about 60HP give or take but is not cheap or easy.
I have a 97 Lincoln town car can I use those on my lincolns
Now… I need to worry about shocks… how do I get the breaks to stop squeaking
do these parts still apply to the 98-02's other than the rotors?
Alexaner Walls go on ADTR.NET they make a bunch of stuff that fits your car
I put airshocks on my 1996 mercury grand marquis. Help the ride
It would been nice to see where they go?
Was wondering if you have any tips on lowering a 2010 town car
Brett Barry I highly recommend the ridetech coil over
Kit in the front. The rear can be lowered by adjusting the air ride control arm sensor bracket
Hey brother where did you get those halo lights for that Lincoln
Go on eBay and type in the yr, make, and model along with Halo Headlights
Forgive me I'm a new virgin on an old scene haha. Have a 1990 Lincoln Town car base model somebody told me it's a windsor 5.0 engine. and they're trying to convince me that I can get better gas mileage by upgrading from TDI distributor coil pack to a HEI setup. without taking it out of my daily driver I can't tell what part number I have whether I have a steel gear or what to even bother.
Side note, the inside of the cap and the rotor bug do look like they're worn.
I've sprayed them out with mass air flow sensor cleaner like electronics cleaner.
Quick question, on ADTR's website, they say the trailing arms feel like they add 20-30 crank horse. Is that actually true? Thanks
Will they feel like they make the rear end not sag at take off... this feels like more go since the back of the doesn’t dip down before launch ... but as far as added HP No. it I can confidently say they will shave time off 1/4 mile runs and make the car feel more refined. I finally finished the install of the short arms and everything feels very solid.
Yea I bet they just say that to boost sales haha. Was it a big pain to install? I know you mentioned your car is in the snow belt, unfortunately mine is the same. Although mine doesnt have 20,000 miles, I can sense the bolts are going to be rather stubborn.
Will I got lucky and the long arms came right out with an air gun and socket. The short arms came out the frame but the bolts on the axle end were stuck in the steel bushing inserts. I had to cut the heads off the rear bolts and use spacers and kept tightening the nuts to make them break free. Then I replaced the hardware with the appropriate hardware once out. It wasn’t fun at all. Those bolts must be Grade 10.
That sounds like one heck of a day messing with that. Hopefully some PB blaster over a couple days should be able to make the bolts really easy to get out, if and when I get mine
@@carguysnewengland Just curious as I'm considering this on my TC what kind of grease do the recommend?
What pads would you put on with those rotors?
Northern Utah Dashcam I have a sets of Hawk pads going on the car
I use carbon ceramic pads, quiet clean and stop well
Do you have a part number for the Watts link stud
Spy vs Spy Performance I don’t offhand but I believe they were made exclusively for ADTR
I have a 97 Town car.
Will these suspension upgrades work on that platform as well ?
Dennis Brown. You may be limited on your options. Reach out to Chris at ADTR.NET
Does your Town Car have the handling package with 16" wheels? If not you can upgrade the wheels, sway bars etc to that spec
Addling police interceptor shocks helps a lot
Cool vid I have a 04 town car and would like to do some performance mod's. Can't you do a lot of the 4.6 mustang mod's to the town car?
5.7L Hemi oh absolutely. The biggest upgrade performance wise would be regearing the car to 3.55s or Larger... you should at least step up the gears two sizes than you already have. And don’t forget the Trac Lok differential.
There is a throttle body from a e-series vans that's a 5mm step up from the stock throttle body size. Can buy them off of ebay for like $50-ish. The tc's are rated at 239 horse, and the e-series & others w/ the larger TB are rated at 250, and the TB is the only difference, so I assume a 5-10 hp increase if you got that, and a k&n air filter
Will I was running an aftermarket throttle body from an aftermarket drive by wire throttle body manufacturer. It was awesome when it worked right but was very problematic throwing wrench lights after about a year of use. I finally threw my hands up in the air and put the stock TB back on. I would be more inclined to have the factory TB enlarged and ported..
5.7 Hemi is lucky because the 03 and 04 years have the cable TB, so they wont have that issue like how the 05-up's do. Hopefully, unless it is a computer issue.. I wonder if any other companies besides BBK make TBs
@@willz1988 AccuFab makes TB's and Plenums for the 4.6 also but can be a bit more but some times you get what you pay for.
I just got. Pearl white 2006 , how often should the air compressor come on to adjust the air bags ?
I never hear my compressor with the exhaust but before all that If hear it kick on when I’d start it in the morning
@@carguysnewengland my goes ever 20mins or so is that bad ?
@@steflo4544 yeah you must have a leak somewhere
How does one make a Jeep Wrangler handle like a race car?? Asking for a friend.
Trade it for a car.
Where'd you get your halos?
Lambochaser CarID.com you can find just the rings or you can buy the entire headlight assembly with the rings installed
Can I get those for the lincoln ls?
Not that I’m aware of... the town car aftermarket is dictated by the crown Vic aftermarket
Does anyone know if 2010 town car interior, dash, door panels will fit in a 2010 crown Vic? I love the crown Vic just the interior is way out dated and the town car interior is beautiful.
grand marquis is a direct fit
What year TC is that behind you? Executive?
RuNutty 2005 Signature Limited
I heard these years (2003+) have an aluminum frame?
RuNutty 03+ have only an aluminum cross member the rest is steel frame construction
I have tried to find videos on TC FINALY ! I hope you guys can give me ideas on performance ! 95,000. Mile car and I love these cars !
Does your town car have a sway bar at the back, because mine doesn't.
Aco it does but it’s the 17mm bar. I need the heavy duty one from ADTR
Aco I have a 2000 TC if you don't want to spend a lot of $$ on ADTR bar you can get one from any crown vic or grand marquis of the same year but make sure you get all the brackets with it and upgrade the links to the neoprene rubber links. Makes a difference but still retains a nice ride. I have had situations where adding a much thicker sway bar made the ride harsher really depends on what you want out of your car.
@@carguysnewengland You can get a 21mm rear sway from a Marauder or a '95-'97 Town Car with the handling package. Makes it turn in like a BMW and corner amazing but it affected the ride too much for me so I took it off
@@carguysnewengland 2003 Town Cars and Town Car L's have a 28 mm front bar. The others have a 26.5. Some police interceptors have a 29mm
@@bigggmustang73 Any clue what a 08 MGM gs has for sway bars stock?
How much better is the driving now?
It handles like an expensive German automobile
Hey, I know it's been 4yrs since u posted this video. But do u still have your town car
Absolutely 👍
@@carguysnewengland any new lincoln town car footage
@@hotrodlincoln7186 Have you watched the playlist of Panther videos? I also post a lot on our Instagram of it.
@Car Guys New England ahh, no not yet
I do t understand this panther car thing I've never heard of it
Do you live near RI
ryder vescera I’m about 3 hours North
@@carguysnewengland ah Massachusetts
Town car doesn't have sway bars
Yes they do
A luxury car is just that, a luxury car. Keep it like that and how Lincoln intended. Thats why its deemed old school luxury cause nowadays manufactures are tryna make a luxury car handle like a sports car, have 500hp, carry all these passengers like a minivan, also tow, etc...
It's night time and you are wearing sunglasses...?
Bunson Honeydew due to the sensitive nature of my employment I keep myself anonymous and out of spotlight. If you watched other videos you would understand.
Thats cast you forkin stick
Knowing about the parts is essential, but you waste too much time in your video talking about the parts and no time actually working on the car. Just talk as you work that will make more sense and allow you to take advantage of the video time.
I replaced the air springs with coils and added 4 new shocks on my 95 town ,accelerates better , stops better , corners better feels tight like a tiger , oops i mean a panther
I was thinking of getting the limited slip on my Marquis in hopes that if I slide the rear I don't lose it suddenly and I can't keep track of it. I'm thinking the open diff is doing this thing where it safely spins one tire with limited traction, then the whole rear sort of snaps away as soon as the other tire slips too. I really want to be able to have a nice slide, but it would be _ideal_ if it were more controlled. Will a LSD help this?
Also, when I get a Town Car, do you have any advice for _completely_ uncompromised ride comfort? I don'r care if it handles like ass.
Yes a limited slip will help this. Adtr.net has a few choices for are cars. I personally am using the Eaton Detroit lsd. I also added 3.73 gearing at the same time and the panther skirts now
If you're getting an lsd you should look at doing a gear swap well your doing the lsd, 4.10 gears are perfect for these cars because of the crazy long gear ratios in the auto transmission, makes controlling slides 1000% better, not very expensive either
@@beereadyyy9849 I have 3.55 gears and a manual transmission already in it. Will look into an LSD.
@@AlastorTheNPDemon oh shoot son! Ur gear ratio is fine then if you've got the manual swap, lsd would make that bad boy quite the nice streetable/driftable build!
