How to service the shock absorber on 2006 Ford Escape?

The shock absorber servicing process starts with hoisting the vehicle in neutral position. Start the repair process by taking out the rear quarter trim panel. The next step involves removing the upper shock absorber nuts and washer together with the bushing but tight them to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.) at installation. The service on shock absorbers begins by taking out the lower shock absorber nut followed by its washer and bolt and repeating the 175 Nm (129 ft. lbs.) tightening during reinstatement. Reset the shock absorber and bushing through reverse steps that follow the removal measures to complete the installation.
