What precautions should be taken when servicing a shock absorber to prevent personal injury and ensure proper installation on 2009 Ford Mustang?

It is imperative to stay away from heating or flame application to both shock absorber and strut tube since they contain gas pressure that can lead to explosions causing serious personal harm. Secure all body parts away from shock absorber and strut rods because they may extend automatically without warning. The performance of vital systems depends on proper suspension fasteners so new parts should receive same part number replacements or equivalent parts with higher quality than alternatives. All reassembly torque values need to be followed to maintain proper engagement of the components. The preferred hoist method for lifting vehicles by frame requires that shock absorber installation should be done one at a time to protect control arm bushings while using a drive-on type hoist. Start the process by accessing the luggage space to relocate the carpet and putting an indicator on the remaining shock absorber that remains in place when positioning the car at ground level. Use two suitable jackstands to support the rear axle by the control arms instead of resting them on the differential housing or allowing the assembly to remain unsupported. Before installation, remove the wheel along with tire. After removing and discarding the shock absorber upper nut and washer and insulator assembly you should install a new nut which requires a torque of 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). Lift the rear axle to position the mark on the rear shock absorber over the protective sleeve before removing and discarding the shock absorber lower bolt and nut alongside the shock absorber. When installing the new bolt users should tighten it to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) and do it with the suspension at curb height to minimize bushing damage along with incorrect clamp load. The reverse procedures should be performed to end the installation process.
