How to Safely and Effectively Service and Repair the Shock Absorber on 2006 Ford Escape?

The safety goggles must be used when you work with a spring compressor because it protects you from personal injury. Do not attach an impact wrench on the nut. Start by putting the strut and spring assembly inside a suitable spring compressor to compress the coil spring until the strut assembly tension is reduced. The next step entails taking off the strut piston rod-to-bushing nut although you should torque it to 103 Nm (76 ft. lbs.) during the reassembly process. Unscrewing begins with the removal of the strut then moving onto the lower coil spring insulator followed by the coil spring before finishing with the upper coil spring insulator. For restoration place the bearing plate with its arrow facing toward the exterior edge of the vehicle. First remove the bearing plate before taking out the bearing alongside the strut upper bushing and dust boot together with the bumper. The end of assembly will occur by performing the reverse order of the disassembly steps.
