Ok, I didnt bother to search to see if someone has previously posted this information, but I meantioned a ball joint recall for the 2000 model LS and I figured I post the other recalls I have found as well. AS FOR THE RECALL I mentioned in a different thread I said it was good for LS's between 00-02. I WAS WRONG. If your lincoln was manufactured between 8/98-09/00 then it falls under the ball joint recall. Check the manufature date.
