2006 Ford Taurus Shock Absorber Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: What Does the Shock Absorber Service and Repair Involve on 2006 Ford Taurus?
A: Relevant assembly processes and disassembly work follow each other in the suspension strut service and repair operations. The gas-pressurized front shock absorbers extend automatically in all vehicles so heat and flame should not be used during maintenance or disassembly to protect personnel. All suspension fasteners require new replacement with original components bearing identical part numbers because proper retention relies on applying pre-defined torque values when performing assembly work. The proper spring compressor must compress the spring slightly before loosening the strut rod nut when holding the strut rod due to the spring tension in the strut assembly. Lifting the tension from the strut rod allows for tightening the nut to 62 Nm (46 ft. lbs.). The unique washers at both ends of the upper mount and seat-bearing assembly need special attention since their positions should be remembered during removal. First remove the strut rod nut followed by discarding it together with the cupped washer and upper mount and strut bearing assembly. A new assembly should replace the upper mount and strut bearing assembly when there are any cracks, tears or distortion present in the spring insulator during inspection. The technician should start by eliminating the strut along with dished washer and jounce bumper and dust boot from the vehicle. The hand installation of the upper mount into the strut bearing assembly includes proper placement of upper mount washers with their cupped sides turned toward the outside. Proper care involves avoiding excessive tightening of the strut rod nut to protect the components from damages. Correct seating of the spring in its spring seats remains important during installation while following the opposite order of removal steps with new strut rod nuts.
