How to Properly Service and Install a Shock Absorber on 2005 Lincoln LS?

Start the service of shock absorber and spring assembly by positioning the vehicle on a hoist while it stays in NEUTRAL position. You will need to remove the right upper shock mount cover with retainers simultaneously with left upper shock mount cover if they are installed. It is vital to keep the center nut in place because release will lead to spring tension loss which constitutes a safety hazard to the technician. The technicians must remove the existing shock absorber upper mount-to-body nuts before installing new ones at 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). Use the hex-holding tool to lock the stud during stabilizer bar link-to-lower arm nut removal before disconnecting the link and tightening the new nut to 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs.). The shock absorber and spring assembly can be taken out after removing the shock absorber-to-lower arm nut and bolt, while you should tighten the new bolt and nut to 175 Nm (129 ft. lbs.) during installation. The bolt and nut installation should proceed only after verifying that end caps from the shock absorber lower bushing are correctly in position. Follow the reverse order of the removal steps to reinstall. Using new parts with their original part numbers and following specified torque values will lead to the correct retention and performance of your suspension components.
