2007 Lincoln Town Car Coil Springs Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Remove and Replace the Coil Springs and Shock Absorber Assembly on 2007 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Start coil spring and shock absorber work by switching off electrical power from the air suspension system to prevent unexpected air spring movements before service. Follow the procedure by placing the air suspension service switch into the OFF position. Place the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear before positioning it on the hoist if performing the task. It is important not to take off the center nut because it safeguards the upper spring mount and spring tension loss may result in serious harm to personnel. Tear off and dispose of the three shock absorber mounting bracket nuts yet tighten them to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs) during installation. It is essential to support the caliper and anchor plate assembly with mechanic's wire when detached from the brake hose because allowing it to hang can lead to damage; install the wire securely at 160 Nm (118 ft. lbs). Next, remove the brake disc. The hex holding function stops the stud from rotating when you loosen the upper stabilizer bar link nut but you must install the new nut at 63 Nm (46 ft. lbs). The stabilizer bar link procedure includes disconnecting the lower bar link together with its nut before installation of a new link which requires a 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs) torque adjustment on the new nut. Follow these steps to install the wheel speed sensor wiring harness retainer on the wheel knuckle together with the hex holding feature before removing and discarding the upper ball joint nut at a torque of 150 Nm (111 ft. lbs). After discarding the shock absorber and spring assembly lower nut and flag bolt install the new ones while tightening both to a torque of 235 Nm (173 ft. lbs). After removing the shock absorber and spring assembly, put them back in place while making sure all bushing clamping retainers get tightened with vehicle weight resting on the wheels following the reverse of removal steps.
