• Q: How to Service and Repair Rear Coil Springs on 2006 Ford E-150?

  A: Service and repair of rear coil spring requires initial steps which involve setting the vehicle to NEUTRAL gear on a hoist while using a suitable jack to stabilize the rear axle. You must start by taking out the shock absorber lower bolt and lower nut before discarding the nut and securing the new installation at 70 Nm (52 ft. lbs.). Proceed to remove four U-bolt nuts, a plate along with two U-bolts and discard all components. During reinstallation use a torque wrench to apply 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.) on U-bolts of E-150 models while E-250, E-350, and E-450 models require 175 Nm (129 ft. lbs.). Use the provided procedure to remove and discard the leaf spring front bracket bolt and flagnut. Install and tighten new hardware to 200 Nm (148 ft. lbs.) for E-150 or 350 Nm (258 ft. lbs.) for E-250, E-350, and E-450 models. Replace both leaf spring shackle-to-bracket bolt and flagnut with new hardware then install it with torque settings of 133 Nm (98 ft. lbs.). The process begins after leaf sprig-dshackle nut together with the shackle bolt gets removed. After discarding both parts, tighten the new components to 133 Nm (98 ft. lbs.). The complete process ends with executing the procedure in reverse order.
