How to service the rear shock absorbers on 2003 Ford Mustang?

The process of servicing rear shock absorbers requires first opening the luggage compartment lid before moving aside the carpet. Start by disposing of the retaining nut together with washer and insulator assembly before raising the vehicle. Before removing the shock absorber you must discard both the shock absorber's bolt along with its nut. Installation calls for appropriate priming of the new shock absorber followed by adding a new washer and insulator to it. The shock absorber should be properly positioned before adding a new bolt and nut to secure it. A driver assisting with the hoisting process should lower the vehicle frame as the assistant feeds the shock absorber into its body opening. The next step after lowering the vehicle requires you to install a new insulator as well as a washer and a nut. The last step includes moving back the carpet and closing the luggage compartment lid. New suspension fasteners of matching part numbers should be used and torque values must be followed precisely to preserve suspension system quality.
