    For Sale 2003 Blue Marauder - first $1,000 takes it

    I have reluctantly decided to part with my Marauder. Car was my daily driver, then after I changed the timing chains, car started but oil pressure was all over, very high then very low when I drove it. While I had the value covers off I cleaned some of the build up off, and I am not sure if a...

    Front lower control arm bushing/mount--can't find part?

    Not sure of the part number on ebay, it was over a year ago. Just do a search for crown vic control arm bushing on ebay motors and match the picture up with the bolt pattern. You can tell by the picture that one side of the bushing is larger than the other. Just stay away from Raybestos, NAPA...

    Front lower control arm bushing/mount--can't find part?

    The ones from ebay worked. They had the stock design, larger oval in front and then smaller oval.

    'Original Owners'

    I originally went to the dealership to look at the Lincoln LS. I test drove it and hated it. They had a brand new 2003 blue Marauder sitting in the show room. I didn't know anything about them or the colors offered. I didn't know I was looking at 1 of only 328 cars being sold in that color...

    Wanted To Buy Front Lower control arm bushings

    Does anyone have a used/new set of front lower control arm bushings with relatively low miles they dont need. I have tried three different types and none of them fit, the opening where the control arm shaft goes is too small. Ford only sells the lower control arm as a unit and I just changed...

    Front lower control arm bushing/mount--can't find part?

    The Napa bushings don't work. Just ordered them today. The control arm shaft doesn't fit through the bushing insert. It gets to the thread and stops. I guess I will take them to a machine shop and see what they can do. i have tried moog, trw (napa) and raybestos, none of them fit.

    No, everything is original. Other than regular fluid changes and tune ups, I have only changed the timing chains and rear axles/seals. Getting ready to replace the ball joints and upper control arms this weekend. Knock on wood...she's been a great car, with very hard miles put on her.

    Spider Gears

    Well, after 242,000 miles, I have to replace the axle seals, shafts and bearings. So I have everything apart and notice the spider gears have a couple nicks in them. Question one, do I really need to replace them, and question two, are they the same as a crown vic? My ford dealer says that...

    heated seats

    Has anyone tried to convert from non-heated seats to heated seats using the factory parts, is it worth it? I am thinking most of the wiring should already be there, right? I have been toying with this idea for years, every winter I tell myself I am going to look into it. Guess it is not as...

    No Lights

    Mine is doing the same thing. Took it to the dealer yesterday, they said it was the LCM. Wanted $900 to change it, $450 for the part and $450 for labor. They said it had to be programmed. Is this the case or is it a direct swap? Ordered the LCM off of 1stfordparts.com for $230, I am hoping...
