Ford 6R3Z-18125-DA Kit - Shock Absorber

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 6R3Z-18125-DA fits your vehicle.

When disassembling the strut assembly, the upper bearing assembly should be inspected for smooth operation. Any signs of it not turning smoothly or cracking and deterioration in the rubber portion may indicate the need for replacement.

Remove the wheels and place a floor jack under the lower control arm.

Removing and installing shock absorbers one side at a time helps maintain stability and balance in the vehicle's suspension system, preventing uneven weight distribution and potential handling issues.

To check the shock absorbers, park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, and set the parking brake. Push down at one corner of the vehicle and release it while observing the movement of the body. It should stop moving and come to rest in a level position within one or two bounces. If the vehicle continues to move up and down or fails to return to its original position, this may indicate worn or weak shock absorbers.
