  Q: How to service and repair the leaf spring on Ford Excursion?

  A:

  To maintain or fix the leaf spring in Super Duty F-250, F-350 and Excursion vehicles start by hoisting the vehicle properly to maintain support. Then disconnect the wheel and tire assembly. The rear axle must be supported with a proper jack then you need to take out the U-bolt retaining nuts and U-bolts from the rear spring followed by removal of the rear spring upper plate. Detach the rear spring front hanger bracket by first removing its nut and bolt followed by removing the lower nut and bolt from the rear spring shackle bracket. F-Super Duty trucks with this equipment need their auxiliary spring together with its spacer to be removed before disconnecting the rear spring shackle assembly through the removal of its nut and bolt components. In Excursion vehicles the removal of nut and bolt from rear spring shackle assembly enables the operator to detach the rear spring shackle. Installation of the new leaf spring follows the reverse sequence of removal steps by using new fasteners and maintaining specified torque values because suspension fasteners serve as essential components for vital system performance. Specific equipping of new system components with their original part number or a substitute part prevents major service costs.

  Q: How to Ensure Proper Maintenance of the Leaf Spring on a Ford Excursion?

  A:

  Start the process of servicing or repairing the leaf spring on Super Duty F-250, F-350, Excursion series vehicles by lifting the vehicle and providing support and then taking off the tire wheel assembly. Use a suitable jack under the rear axle to support it before you remove the U-bolt retaining nuts and U-bolts as well as the rear spring upper plate. Start by taking out the nut and bolt from the rear spring front hanger bracket followed by removing the lower nut and bolt from the rear spring shackle bracket in order to detach the rear spring assembly. For F-Super Duty vehicles that have this option you must take away both the auxiliary spring and auxiliary spring spacer after which you can separate the rear spring shackle through nut and bolt removal. The rear spring shackle separation for Excursion vehicles requires removal of its nut and bolt. Follow the removal steps in reverse order when installing the new leaf spring while applying new fasteners with precise torque values according to the specifications because suspension fasteners maintain vital component and system performance. New parts should include either the original part number or an equivalent design which prevents users from choosing substandard alternatives.
