2007 Ford Freestar Seat Cushion Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the second row bucket seat cushion on 2007 Ford Freestar?

  A: Service of the second row bucket seat cushion begins with removing both the second row bucket seat and backrest. Proceed by removing the 9 screws from the seat bottom cover and the 6 nuts from the seat riser-seat track connection before you take out the seat riser. Tighten the new installation to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). Use every component of the service kit when installing new seat riser struts while directing the rod end part toward the seat front to achieve correct offset placement. You should take out the seat riser strut and the 2 bolts following correct reinstallation procedures which involve tightening them to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). Reverse the process by taking out the 4 bolts which secure the seat track to the cushion pan while tightening each one to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) during reinstallation. The technician should remove both bolts and lower anchors and tethers for children (LATCH) then tighten them to 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) while reinstalling. Remove the J-clips which will detach upholstery from the foam pad as well as the fitment inside the cushion pan yet maintain the hook and loop strip undamaged during removal. You should discard all the hog rings before achieving foam pad separation from the cover. Recovery of the system occurs through the reverse sequence of procedures used for disassembly.
