How to remove and replace the rear shock absorber on Lincoln Town Car?

Turning off the electrical power to the air suspension system is crucial before shock absorber replacement due to the risk of unwanted air spring performances that may shift the vehicle while servicing. The first step is to disable the air suspension service switch by turning it to off position. Position the vehicle in neutral while placing it on a hoist and support the rear axle with a suitable jack or jack stands. After removing the upper shock nut with its washer and insulator discard all components before putting in new pieces while tightening the upper nut to 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs). The shock absorber installation process requires removal of the lower shock nut and bolt and shock absorber where the discarded parts must be replaced by new components before securing the new shock absorber with a torque setting of 90 Nm (66 ft. lbs). Finish the installation by returning to the reverse order of procedures. Follow the procedure by replacing original fasteners with new parts which have the same number or approved replacement components. Implement the recommended torque settings for component retention.

What precautions should be taken before removing and installing the shock absorber and spring assembly on Lincoln Town Car?

To avoid unintended changes to air springs during operations it is essential for the technician to disable electrical power to the air suspension system before starting shock absorber and spring assembly removal and installation. Deactivate the air suspension service switch. Leaving the center nut in place is essential because removing it produces risks of personal injury through spring tension loss. The first step involves removing all nuts followed by removing the wheel as well as tire assembly from the truck frame. The caliper and anchor plate together with pads must be positioned aside while the bolts are removed before proceeding with the brake disc removal. During nut removal or discarding utilize the hex holding feature to stop the stud from rotating. The process should be repeated to remove both nuts followed by discarding the nuts into the trash. You should detach the retainer before using the hex holding feature to discard the nut. The procedure requires removing both nut and flag bolt followed by waste disposal of the nut piece. End the operation by removing the shock absorber combined with the spring assembly yet reinstall by performing the reverse steps of removal.
