Rear shocks 2008 Lincoln Town Car

Putting in new rear Motorcraft shocks from Rockauto. Seven month after having the parts I finally got the encouragement and motivation to do it.

fosho i just sold that 97 they gave $10,500 for and bought a 2008 town limited new project now

[@StevenAwsomeYoda]

Please do video changing the air suspension when it comes time to replace .I did one years ago on my 98 Town Car without taking the tire off

[@Pantherforlife]

You got it , my airbags are still looking good for now. Sometime close going into the 300,000 mile mark I might have to do it.

Dear Ford, What a Concept making rear shocks EASY to Replace , See Crown Vic(:

[@malikbyrd2905]

What size is the bolt that holds the mount at the bottom of the shock

[@Pantherforlife]

The bottom bolt is 15mm. The nut is 18mm. The top nut is 15mm.

[@eddieshields7596]

Apparently the shocks I bought didn't come with that rubber piece that goes on top. This explains the gap and the clanking

[@Pantherforlife]

It's called a shock absorber bushing. AutoZone has it ; www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/lincoln,2008,town+car,4.6l+v8,1443281,suspension,shock+absorber+bushing,10885

[@kielbasaglen6843]

What part number shock were you able to purchase?

[@Pantherforlife]

Part # ASH-24539 1X Plus this # 8W7Z-18125-D Motorcraft parts from RockAuto.

[@Ace-44]

So you had to buy the rubber top piece that you silicone separate?

[@Pantherforlife]

@Ace-44 The new shocks didn't come with them, so I reused the original.

[@Ace-44]

@Pantherforlife Thats crazy. You went with Motorcraft?

[@Sunsetcourtking]

Thanks

[@Pantherforlife]

And just to let you know it drives a whole lot better. I don't get that choppyness from the rear or fish tailing from bumpy roads.

[@Sunsetcourtking]

@@Pantherforlife I'm loving it I swapped mines with ur video u made it easy

[@gabeachoo3152]

What mm is the top of the shock bolt?

[@Pantherforlife]

That's a 15mm

[@robertkindla6429]

To prolong the life of the rubber grommet that goes in the top of the shock, why should you have to buy another product to make it last longer?

[@Pantherforlife]

It's a product I already have and used it to prevent from cracking and dry rotting. Applied it on my air bags suspension also. Just to help protect and prolong the use.

[@TheRdjohnson14]

I can’t get pass the screeching

[@Pantherforlife]

I can now hear what you are talking about. Those annoying crickets

[@TheRdjohnson14]

Maybe because I’m high af lol no negativity intended man 🤙🏾🤣🤣 I was really into the video I watched the whole thing and it didn’t last…. I work in a shop as well so I get it

[@jeremylinville2644]
