2002 Mercury Sable Shock Absorber Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Removing and Installing the Front Shock Absorber and Spring Assembly on 2002 Mercury Sable?
A: It is necessary to exercise caution when handling the front suspension strut and spring assembly due to its gas-pressurized shock absorbers because these extend automatically without assistance; heat or flame must be avoided to protect yourself from harm. The integrity of essential systems depends on suspension fasteners so replacement parts must belong to the same specification and use specified torque values during reassembly for achieving optimal retention. Start your procedure by setting position 1 on the ignition before taking out the wheel knuckle yet keeping the wheel hub and bearing and disc brake dust shield connected. Immediately before discarding the link nut begin by untightening it while using the hex feature to secure the ball joint from rotation and finally disconnect the link. Climb underneath the vehicle after removing the brake hose bracket then lower it to obtain access to the strut and spring assembly-to-body nuts and the washer hose retainer when necessary. The nuts need removal before extracting the strut assembly together with its spring components. Use a proper spring compressor device to make the spring short at first then unscrew the nut under strut rod stability after loosening the tension while holding the strut rod before you discard the nut and eliminate the cupped washer with upper mount and seat-bearing assembly. Check the upper mount and seat-bearing assembly for any damage then replace both if the spring insulator is cracked, torn or distorted along with the bearing that fails to freely rotate. Assemble the mount washers with their cupped sides directed toward the mount and seat-bearing assembly while avoiding excessive torque on the strut rod lock nut to prevent damages. Install the spring correctly into both spring seats while performing installation by following the removal procedures in reverse order.
