How to remove and replace the shock absorber and spring assembly in the rear suspension on Mercury Mountaineer?

A mechanic needs to begin removal steps by taking out the lower arm before working on the shock absorber and spring assembly in the rear suspension. A mechanic should remove the three shock absorber upper mount nuts followed by taking out the shock absorber and spring assembly. The new nuts should be torqued at 30 Nm (22 lb-ft) during the new assembly installation. The detailed instructions for shock absorber and spring assembly dismantling and assembly are provided in the appropriate overhaul procedures. Performing the reverse actions of removal will finish the installation process. The replacement of shock absorber components requires new parts identical to their original part numbers or equivalent quality items since inferior parts may generate serious service problems. The components will maintain proper retention when technicians follow the specified torque values during the reassembly process.

How to Properly Service and Install a Shock Absorber and Spring Assembly on Mercury Mountaineer?

To begin servicing the shock absorber and spring unit measure the center hub distance to fender edge while the vehicle sits level on static ground at curb height. The three shock absorber upper mount nuts must be taken off before installation but should be tightened to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.) at the curb height position. The procedure starts with neutral driving gear while the vehicle rests on a hoist with a suitable jack providing support to the lower control arm at its lower ball joint position. The stabilizer bar link assembly requires removal of its nut along with grommet. Replace the link assembly before tightening the nut to 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs.) at curb height. Take out the shock absorber lower bolt and flag nut while discarding both pieces and proceeding to remove the shock and spring assembly. The technician must install the lower shock bolt by torquing it to 350 Nm (259 ft. lbs,) while keeping the vehicle at curb height. Complete all suspension bushing fastener tightening after elevating the suspension so that the initial fender-lip hub-center distance remains equal to the initial measurements. End the installation process by doing a reverse procedure.
