What precautions should be taken when servicing shock absorbers on 2006 Ford Mustang?

During shock absorber servicing operators need to exercise caution because all vehicles employ gas-pressurized shock absorbers that extend on their own automatically while heat and flame usage poses a risk for personal harm. The effective performance of vital systems depends on Suspension fasteners which require use of replacement parts having the same part number to ensure proper retention through strict adherence to specified torque values during reassembly. A hoist operated by frame lift should use new shock absorbers one by one to protect control arm bushings while a drive-on style hoist is the preferred solution. Start by moving the carpet from the luggage area and marking the stationary rear shock absorber against the protective sleeve on flat ground. Position the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear and suspend it on a hoist system but do not place support underneath the differential housing nor allow the control arms to support the rear axle alone. Place two jack stands under the rear axle for additional support. Replace the shock absorber upper nut as well as washer and insulator assembly and tighten the new installation components to 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.). You should lift the rear axle until the alignment of the rear shock absorber's mark and protective sleeve becomes one. It is necessary to remove both stabilizer bar link bolts and clip nuts on vehicles with rear bars before positioning the stabilizer bar to tighten new fasteners to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.). You should remove and discard the shock absorber lower bolt along with its nut before extracting the shock absorber and install the new bolt by tightening it to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.) when the suspension keeps the vehicle at normal driving height. The installation of the new shock absorber finishes by following the opposite order of removal steps.
