How to Service and Repair the Shock Absorber in the Suspension Strut on 2002 Ford Escape?

The process of repairing or servicing the suspension strut starts with removing the combination of strut along with spring assembly. Safety goggles must always be worn while using a spring compressor to avoid personal injuries. The assembly requires suitable mounting followed by front coil spring compression through the use of a spring compressor. Begin by executing the removal of the strut piston rod nut then unpack the strut assembly with components including metal sheet plate and upper strut mount followed by thrust bearing plate and thrust bearing and upper spring seat and upper spring seat isolator and spring and dust boot and rubber bump stopper and lower spring seat. The installation of new hardware must happen each time loose or removed existing hardware occurs. An alignment procedure must be conducted after the front shock absorber mounting bracket bolts and strut and spring assembly lose their connection and the spring should be positioned properly in the insulator. The process completion requires performing the reverse version of assembly steps that were used for disassembly.
