Ford 7R3Z-18124-A Kit - Shock Absorber

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 7R3Z-18124-A fits your vehicle.

With the mounting fasteners in place, carefully raise the axle so that the mark on the shock lines up with the dust sleeve. Tighten the mounting fasteners to the torque specified in the vehicle's specifications.

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.

Signs of wear that indicate the need for strut or coil spring replacement include leaking fluid, loss of damping capability, and cracked coil springs.

Remove the ABS harness and sensor, if equipped, as well as the brake line bracket and stabilizer bar link.
