2006 Lincoln Zephyr Coil Springs Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair Coil Springs on 2006 Lincoln Zephyr?

  A: The coil spring service requires the discarding of three shock absorber upper mount nuts while new ones need to be tightened to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.) during the installation process. Install the vehicle on the hoist with it in NEUTRAL position. The service on the brake line begins with a bolt uninstall followed by brake line placement before securing the bolt with 23 Nm torque (17 ft. lbs). The wheel speed sensor and harness bolt must be removed one at a time when servicing the sensor so you can position it safely to the side before torquing them up to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.) during reinstallation. A suitable jack must support the wheel knuckle at its lower ball joints. To prevent turn movement of the ball stud when working on stabilizer bar link nuts use the holding feature and tighten the upper nut to 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.) during installation. First utilize the suspension at the bushing fastener tightening position to bolt up the new lower bolt at 103 Nm (76 ft. lbs.). Then discard the lower bolt and flag nut but keep the damper before the installation. You must lower the wheel knuckle to take out the shock absorber and spring assembly. The suspension must be placed at the bushing fastener tightening position which requires lifting it to achieve hub-center-to-fender-lip measurements of 402 mm (15.83 inches). The installation process ends by performing the opposite actions used during removal.
