Ford YS8Z-18124-DA
Strut

Service and repair operations of the front suspension strut start with removing the combined strut and spring assembly. When servicing or repairing it is vital to handle the spring properly because high spring tension creates an injury hazard. A safe coil spring compressor should be used to buckle the spring before separating the strut and spring components. Your first step should be to take off the thrust bearing nut and then follow with the top mount, thrust bearing, spring seat, spring, boot, and bump stop. To assemble the unit reverse the disassembly steps while making sure the spring ends rest properly against the spring seats.

Simply reverse the disassembly procedure.

Ensure that the spring ends butt correctly against the spring seats during reassembly, which involves reversing the disassembly procedure.
