Ford Five Hundred Shock Absorber Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to service the shock absorber and spring assembly on an AWD on Ford Five Hundred?
A: The first step to service an AWD shock absorber and spring assembly starts with taking a measurement of hub center to fender lip distance while the vehicle stands on flat ground. To reach the upper shock absorber nut you need to eliminate the interior trim material and discard that specific nut. Move to the next step by taking out the wheel with attached tire unit. Support the rear Brake Caliper while it is in position to avoid straining the flexible hose. Uninstall the caliper guide-pins before setting the caliper to the side for later installation when torque it to 31 Nm (23 ft. lbs.). Set the vehicle on a raised position and insert a V-topped transmission jack under the wheel knuckle to attach it to the Trailing Arm point before compressing the shock absorber and spring. First remove the trailing arm-to-knuckle bolt then discard it while you loosen the trailing arm-to-subframe bolt and finally discard the lower arm-to-knuckle bolt. First lower the transmission jack until the lower shock absorber and spring assembly-to-knuckle bolt becomes loose enough to push the assembly off the lower arm and remove it. During installation tape the spring to an upper rubber spring seat before you insert a 76-mm (3-inch) rubber hose piece onto the shock absorber stud and place the spring assembly onto the shock absorber. Position the shock absorber and spring assembly onto the lower arm by using a new bolt which must receive a torque of 142 Nm (105 ft. lbs.). Use the transmission jack to lift the lower arm as you ensure the upper shock absorber stud enters the bushing with the help of an assistant then install a new lower arm-to-knuckle bolt loosely. You should lift the jack until the wheel hub reaches the specified curb height before using a torque wrench to set the lower arm-to-knuckle bolts to 90 Nm (66 ft. lbs.). Position the jack under the trailing arm attachment point and then raise it to install a new trailing arm-to-knuckle bolt which should be tightened to 105 Nm (77 ft. lbs.). The installation process includes tighening the trailing arm-to-subframe bolt to 110 Nm (81 ft. lbs.) followed by brake caliper and guide pin bolt installation to 31 Nm (23 ft. lbs.) before rubber hose removal for new shock absorber nut installation and tightness control to 83 Nm (61 ft. lbs.). After lowering the vehicle and reinstalling the wheel and tire assembly it is necessary to install a new shock absorber nut that should be tightened to 83 Nm (61 ft. lbs.) and then replace the interior trim panel.
