Lincoln Luebbe said:If you torque down the bolts in the bottom of the rear center console it should help with the noise. We had a 2003 and that was fixed that way. We had it from 17000 miles to 43000 miles and I ended up getting rid of it because it seemed every week something new went wrong with it. No shuddering from your doors? Mine literally sounded like they were shaking when I would go over any little bump in the road. I truley never new how irregular roads were until I bought that Lincoln. It was by far the noisiest vehicle I have ever rode in. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love Lincoln, but I wouldn't take that particular car back for $100.00. Traded for a Zephyr, lost about $10000.00 on trade in. The funny thing is they wanted to affer me less than trade in market because the new my car had a "repair history." Post pics if you can-and good luck with yours!!
Thank you for the information on the console bolts. As for the doors, when I test drove it, I thought they sounded "cheap" when I closed them. But, coming out of Chevrolet trucks that have a little weight in the doors, I'm getting used to it. I like a solid sound when I close the door, and one of my pet peeves is people SLAMMING my vehicle doors, no reason for that. I'm sorry you had bad luck with yours, I'm hoping for the best with mine, as I plan to have it until the wheels fall off. I have never driven an SUV as comfortable as this and "fits" me. Here are some crappy pictures, can't wait until the weather is cooperative and I can take some better ones. Thank you for your help.
