Hello,
New forum member here. I recently purchased a pretty sweet 1994 Mark VIII. I owned a 1997 at one time, but for whatever reason, I had to part with it since I probably needed the money! Both cars were are two of the finest automobiles I have ever owned. For stock, they are fast as greased lightning. I never had a need for parts with my 1997 because I owned it for only a short time. The 94 I bought has got several front suspension issues. The struts were replaced about two years ago along with the upper and lower control arms (new bushings too). The stabilizer links look wore out. The stabilizer bar is in good shape, but the bushings look like they need to be replaced. It looks like the radius arm bushing is bad. The car clunks, rattles, bumps all the time. My problem is locating parts without going to the dealer. I know I probably will wind up getting them from a dealer, but was wondering if anybody knew of a good parts source i.e., front end suspension parts and components. Although my air ride system has not thrown a code and it appears to be in good shape with no cracks or rotten parts, I can't tell whether it is functioning or not. The right rear sits lower than the left. Does the air system automatically level the car when it is parked on something other than a level surface? Alot to digest here, hope somebody can chime in!!
Thanks,
Jim
