Step 1: Prepare the Vehicle
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
- Engage the wheel chocks behind the wheels that will remain on the ground.
- Turn off the engine and allow the vehicle to cool down.
- Jack the vehicle up and use jack stands to support it safely off the ground.
Step 2: Locate the Chassis Grease Fittings
- Use a flashlight if necessary to locate the grease fittings on the vehicle's chassis.
- Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for specific locations of the grease fittings.
- Common locations include the front control arms, tie rod ends, ball joints, and rear suspension components.
Step 3: Apply Grease to the Fittings
- Clean the grease fittings with the flat-head screwdriver and a rag to remove any dirt or debris.
- Attach the grease gun to a grease fitting.
- Pump grease into the fitting until you see fresh grease emerging from around the seal.
- Do not over-lubricate the fittings, as this can damage the components.
Step 4: Finish and Lower the Vehicle
- Repeat the process for all of the grease fittings on the chassis.
- Wipe off any excess grease from the fittings and surrounding areas with a rag.
- Lower the vehicle from the jack stands and remove the chocks.
- Test drive the vehicle to ensure that the chassis is properly lubricated and functioning smoothly.
Tip: It is recommended to lubricate the chassis of your 2000 Lincoln Town Car every 3,000 to 6,000 miles or as specified in your vehicle's owner's manual.
