Suspension and power steering question. 93 tc

[mattlikespeoples]

Ok, i havent posted on here in a long time. My dreams of owning a mkviii were shot down by $200/mo. more insurence but whatever. I'm really posting about a HORRIBLE suspension skeak coming from my 93tc Exe. I think its just the front but i could be the back as well, i've had the bads replaced with shocks after they wore out. Could this be a sign of needing new shocks? what about bushings?

Another thing i am wondering about: I had my powersteering pump replaced a couple months ago and now i can hear it whine on occaision. like, if I accelerate turning left or right from a stop sign or pulling out on to a road then it does it. it goes away after a while but i know its the power steering because i can feel a vibration in the wheel that matched the noise. any helop with either would be great. :feedback

so nobody has anything to say? the power steering hasnt been much of an issue lately but the suspension i feel will only get worse with time. could someone maybe give me some feed back and/or directions to some towncar suspension sites? i'm thinking bigger swaybars and some urethane bushings to tighten up the ride. i know i saw a site that had them but can not find it now. :feedback or just any :Beer

Alright, the Crown Vic's HPP swaybars are very thick (22mm, IIRC); thicker than the police version, in fact. Or you could use the 21mm Marauder bars. The prefered shocks are Billstien. Poly bushings are an improvement over your possibly worn rubber bushings.

See www.crownvic.us, register, and ask questions in the suspension section.

THE SQUEAK IS PROBABLY LOWER BALL JOINTS THAT ARE ABOUT TO PUT YOU DOWN CLOSER TO THE ROAD THAN YOU'D RATHER BE. IF THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN CHANGED THEN TAKE YOUR TC TO THE DEALER FOR SAFETY RECALL OF 90 TO 96 TC LOWER BALL JOINTS. SUPPOSED TO BE FREE.
SORRY I CAN'T SUGGEST ANYTHING ABOUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP EXCEPT A LOT OF AFTERMARKET PUMPS WHINE FOR SOME REASON.
