How to Service and Repair the Front Shock Absorber on 2001 Ford Escape?

Service and repair of suspension struts starts with removing both the strut assembly along with its spring. Using safety goggles during operations with spring compressors remains mandatory to avoid injuries to yourself. It is necessary to hold the assembly properly before applying a spring compressor to compress the front coil spring. Start by detaching the strut piston rod nut then begin disassembling the strut and spring assembly through successive removal of metal sheet plate, upper strut mount, thrust bearing plate, thrust bearing, upper spring seat, upper spring seat isolator, spring, dust boot, rubber bump stopper, and lower spring seat. All replacement operations needing removal or loosening of fasteners require proper usage of new fasteners. Always perform an alignment procedure when either the front shock absorber mounting bracket bolts or the struts and springs need to be loosened or tightened and ensure the spring fits properly within the insulator when stable. The process ends by following the step-by-step reverse sequence of disassembly for reassembly.
