How to service the shock absorber on a wagon on 2004 Ford Taurus?

Service of the shock absorber for wagon vehicles starts with vehicle preparation through removal of rear compartment access panels followed by wheel and tire removal. A suitable jack stand must support the rear suspension arm and bushing to stop damage from occurring to adjacent components before starting the work. Instead of using pliers to work on the shock absorber rod users should use a wrench to hold the rod during removal of the nut. A 15 mm crows-foot wrench paired with a ratchet allows operators to eliminate and dispose of the nut in addition to washer and rubber insulator. Resistance will be felt when breaking down gas-filled shock absorbers from the rear wheel spindle. Transfer the bolt before removing the shock absorber from the system. Installation involves following the opposite order of removal steps while using specific torque values for component assembly and using an equal part or matching part number for new replacements.
