• Q: How to Service and Repair Coil Springs on 2000 Ford Windstar?

  A: The coil spring service process should start by hoisting the vehicle then taking off both the tire along with its wheel assembly. Before taking off any shock absorber retaining bolts it is essential to secure the rear axle assembly with a jack stand so damage stays away from vehicle components. Make sure the rear axle U-channel slips completely beneath the jack stand saddle. The rear axle assembly connects to the shock absorber with two fasteners that need removal. Cautious attention should be given to the spring insulators because they might detach from the spring during removal. Lower the axle with the jack stand at a controlled pace before spring removal. Position the remaining lower rear spring insulator onto the back axle assembly before pushing it into its correct position. Put the upper rear spring insulator in place on top of the receiving spring. Place the rear spring to the rear axle assembly while making sure it is correctly seated before using the jack stand to lift the rear axle assembly. After positioning the shock absorber on the rear axle securely attach the bolt together with the nut. Reinstall both the wheel along with the tire then remove the jack stand and lower the vehicle to the ground. It is essential to use original suspension fasteners by their specified part numbers or equivalent alternatives when replacing them and maintain recomended torque values for proper retention of vital components.
