Question 1

How to remove and replace the rear coil springs on Mercury Grand Marquis?

Accepted Answer

A vehicle must be in neutral gear positioned on a hoist before starting rear coil spring removal or replacement operations. After disassembly of stabilizer bar links through their bushings and nuts you can free the stabilizer bar from its position on those links by rotating it away from the links. Use appropriate jack supports to secure the rear axle before removing lateral arm frame attachments with their corresponding bolts and nuts along with their replacement fasteners. The vehicle contains shock absorbers with pressure-filled gas that expands automatically without manual intervention; therefore avoid using heat or flame on them. The shock absorbers need their nuts and bolts removed to disconnect from the axle before discarding the old fasteners. Lower down the jack or jack stands carefully while removing the springs together with their spring insulators. Check the mounting brackets of the spring insulators and replace them with new ones if needed. Set the spring insulators on top of the vehicle springs then position them correctly inside the vehicle before lowering the axle with the jack holds. After raising the axle using the jack stands or jack, attach the shock absorbers to the axle using new bolts and nuts while inserting the bolts through the inboard side followed by a 90 Nm (66 lb-ft) nut torque. Install fresh bolts along with nuts between the lateral arms and frame while keeping them loose for now. Fire up the jacks until the axle reaches its appropriate position and follow by tightening both lateral arm-to-frame bolts to 90 Nm torque (66 lb-ft torque). Lower down the axle then remove both the jack and jack stands. Wrap up stabilizer bar installation by placing it on stabilizer bar links then inserting bushings before torquing nuts to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft). Repower the vehicle after installing the system when it includes a fire suppression system.

Question 2

How to Remove and Replace the Rear Coil Springs on Mercury Mariner?

Accepted Answer

Start removing and replacing the rear coil spring by removing the wheels, tires and then detaching the brake hose bracket-to-wheel knuckle bolt. The brake tube needs removal from the wheel cylinder followed by removal of the brake tube bracket under drum braking systems. The brake caliper guide bolts must be taken out on vehicles with disc brakes after ensuring clearance from the brake hose to prevent damage. Mechanics wire should then be used to support the caliper. Support the wheel knuckle then you should discard the upper ball joint nut and remove both the lower shock absorber nut and its washer and bolt. First remove the upper arm inner bolt and discard it before pulling out the upper arm component while loosening the lower arm inner bolt. Lower the wheel knuckle support with caution and remove the coil spring by maintaining the noted position of the coil spring insulator and coil spring. Align the coil spring and coil spring insulator in their noted position after raising the wheel knuckle support cautiously and position the upper control arm with the installation of the upper arm inner bolt before tightening to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) under wheel tire weight. After bolt installation of the lower shock absorber with washer and nut tighten these fasteners to 175 Nm (129 lb-ft). Subsequently, install the upper ball joint nut before removing the wheel knuckle support by tightening to 63 Nm (46 lb-ft). I should position the brake caliper and install two brake caliper guide pin bolts which need tightening at 35 Nm (26 lb-ft). Drum brake vehicles require you to connect the brake tube fitting to the wheel cylinder before tightening it to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft) and following it by installing the brake tube bracket bolt and tightening it to 22 Nm (16 lb-ft). As a final step, screw and tighten the brake hose bracket-to-wheel knuckle bolt to 22 Nm (16 lb-ft) and perform brake bleeding on vehicles that use drum brakes.
