Mercury 8G1Z-18125-B Shock Absorber Assembly

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 8G1Z-18125-B fits your vehicle.

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.

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

For a driveaxle boot check, focus on inspecting the boots for tears, cracks, and loose clamps, particularly the outer CV boot, and replace them if any evidence of damage or leaking lubricant is found.

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.
