What is the problem with your system?
It's best to replace them with something else like aluminum or steel.
The original bushings are meant to have some "give" to them, so as to prevent injury if someone were to get their fingers trapped in betwwen the window and the frame. But the design is faulty and the bushings disintegrate from wear and heat.
I've also heard of some people using s/s nuts that are the same diameter and height of the original bushings.
I just use an aluminum rod of the same diameter to cut the new bushings.
Coil springs are also a maintenance item, they will also wear out.
Glad you're happy with your setup tho.
Thank You

Hope it is that simple for you.
Thanks
I tried searching the web and can't seem to find info on it.

This ONLY happens with a right-hand turn.
Second problem - passenger side door. It is becoming increasingly harder to close. Husband tried to shim it, I believe, but make little difference. I had this happen to an older Lincoln and eventually the door stopped closing all together. What a pain.
Last problem - when I activate the trunk release (either from the hand-held keyless entry thingy or the switch inside the glove box ) I hear the SOUND of something releasing, but the trunk does not release. I hear that big "Click" - but nothing happens. The trunk closing mechanism still works fine.
I sure would appreciate your help on this. I just paid $3500 for a complete engine overhaul on this vehicle and I truly would like to keep it!
Thanks!

I have a '92 Lincoln Town Car. I've had the car for 3 years and kept up the maintenance. All the sudden, everything starts going wrong at once.
Here are the problems:
1. My windows quit rolling up and down. I have the replacement parts, but I can't get the door panel off. I have to get someone else to do that.
2. I think I have an electrical problem. My windshield wipers do not work unless I put them on the fastest setting. Then they only run once and I have to turn them off and put them back on the fastest setting for it to run again. My headlight is out, but my brights work just fine.
3. I have to have my antenna replaced, it broke and the pulley doesn't work anymore.
4. There are several flushes, etc I need to get done (About $600 worth.) I plan on getting those done. There is a rattling in the engine when I accelerate at times.
Questions:
Does any of this sound familiar? Do I have a full blown electrical problem? How much will it cost to get all of this repaired?
Thanks!
Says driver side - circuit open.
Is this something for the dealer to address?
Or is there a wire loose under the seat somewhere.

i have a lincoln towncar 1990, My fuel pump isnt turning on, this happended before the wires that went into the alternator melted, i had to replace the alternator plug, but this time it wasnt the problem, i followed the alternator wires to the battery and saw that some wires were bare and they might have touched some metal, what would that short out?? i checked the fuelpump relay and found out that is wasnt getting power, but some were, what exactlly do i need to replace it?
Thank you so much for your input!!!!
Your engine is completely changed from the power plant in the 90 Lincoln.
I recently had a new window motor installed.
Now my problem is, that it works just fine at times, while at other times, either works very slowly in up or down, or not at all.
When it is working at times, the window will stop working in attempting to roll it up.
Then if I wait awhile, it will start to roll up again.
Someone mentioned, that Relay maybe Bad.
My question is, does anyone know the location of the window relay?
Thank you
I suspect they took off your torque convertor, lost the oil and then put it back together without refilling it.
Thanks
The relay is located under the hood, one of the square boxes, like where your fuses are located. If it's not labled, ask a dealer for a diagram or the numbers to identify it.
I took the airbag light on solid problem to the dealer.
My research (from this forum) told me that if the horn and cruise control do not work, it is most likely the clockspring. They replaced it at the tune of $260.
A $65 part and $195 labor. My radio stations were the same,
so I guess they did not touch the battery.
Problem solved.
If the floor of your trunk area is not wet, that's a good sign it is coming from another source.
