• Q: How Are Rear Coil Springs Serviced and Repaired on 2000 Ford F-150?

  A: The first step for servicing or repairing the rear coil spring involves loosening the rear wheel lug nuts while leaving them in place followed by removing the rear wheel center caps. Lift the vehicle using the wheels as supports and stay between the struts while carrying out wheel and tire assembly removal. A hi-lift jack should support the rear axle and the user should lower it to a safe height for working on the rear spring. To detach the rear spring from the rear axle first remove its nuts then U-bolts along with its rear spring plates before lowering the rear axle carefully. During 4x4 installation remove the rear spring spacer first before uninstalling the rear spring through the needed bolt and nut removal steps. Place the rear spring into position and bind it securely by screwing on the needed bolts and nuts. 4x4 vehicles require placement of rear spring spacers succeeding installation of U-bolts and rear spring plates which must be fastened with nuts. End the process by removing the hi-lift jack while reattaching the wheel together with tire assembly.
