How to service and repair the shock absorber and spring assembly on Ford Thunderbird?

The shock absorber and spring assembly must be separated from the vehicle before serving and repairing it. Create reference points on the mount, spring and shock using appropriate markers before shock absorber reassembly. A suitable spring compressor should be used for applying pressure to squeeze the spring until the shock absorber becomes tension-free. Set suitable jack stands to support the subframe and use this support to remove subframe forward bolts before lowering the front of the subframe by 37 mm (1.413 in). The correct order for disassembly includes following the assembly breakdown steps and for reassembly use the reverse sequences from disassembly. The shock absorber needs to be detached from the upper mount while holding the shock absorber rod by removing the nut. Before you install a new spring you must confirm the correct part number by reading the Vehicle Certification (VC) label which shows the specific spring code.
