Ford 9G1Z-18124-C Shock Absorber Assembly

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 9G1Z-18124-C fits your vehicle.

Inspect the shock body for leaking fluid, dents, cracks, and other damage which would warrant replacement. Check the coil spring for chips or cracks in the spring coating and the spring seat for cuts, hardness, and general deterioration. If any undesirable conditions exist, proceed to the shock absorber/coil spring disassembly procedure.

The inspection procedures are the same as for the 2012 and earlier models.

For these models, start by measuring the distance from the center of the wheel hub to the lip of the fender with the vehicle at rest. Then, open the trunk and pull back the interior quarter trim panel. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands, blocking the front wheels to prevent rolling. Remove the rear wheel and support the lower suspension arm with a floor jack.

After checking all corners of the vehicle for shock absorber performance, raise and securely support the vehicle on jackstands to inspect the shock absorbers for fluid leakage.
