How to Remove and Replace the Front Shock Absorber on 2008 Lincoln MKX?

The procedure for removing and replacing the suspension strut starts with removing and then replacing the 4 shock absorber upper mount nuts tightened at 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). Start by unscrewing the wheel together with the tire before eliminating the brake flexible hose bracket bolt in order to free the shock absorber hose. Reinstall the bolt at 20 Nm (15 lb-ft). First detach the wheel speed sensor harness from the shock absorber bracket before unscrewing the shock absorber lower nuts and flag bolts to remove the shock absorber together with its spring assembly and discard both components. Reinstallation requires tightening the lower nuts and flag bolts to a torque of 225 Nm (166 lb-ft). The installation should proceed in the reverse order. The inspection of the front end should happen as the final step. Install new parts which use same numbers or equivalent quality alongside following specified torque standards for correct suspension retention of critical elements.
