Trouble Shooting

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln LS, 2001 Lincoln LS, and 2000 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

While inspecting the boots, watch for indentations ("dimples") in the boot convolutions. Indentations must be removed.

Inspect the boots for evidence of cracks, tears or splits.
Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter near the boots outboard and inboard locations. This is an indication of boot/clamp damage.
