Are the front strut/shock absorbers serviceable, and How to remove and install on Mercury Capri?

The strut / shock absorber are non- servicing and should be replaced as a complete unit. Before removing it, put off the front wheel lug nuts, lift the vehicle then place it on a jack stand and finally remove the wheel. Next is to un-bolt the disc brake caliper and then suspend it by the help of a wire so that we can observe the rotor freely. Position the floor jack under the control arm; lift up the car slightly and firm up the jack so that it will not slide during the procedure. Remove the three upper mount to shock tower retaining nuts and if upper mount is to be removed from the strut/shock absorber assembly, take out the center nut but do not remove it. Turn to the removal of the strut to spindle nuts/bolts and then to unbolt the strut/shock absorber assembly from the spindle and then pull it out of the vehicle. If replacing the upper mount, loosen the center retain nut and slip out the mount from the assembly. For installation, if the upper mount was removed, position it above the atrut / shock assembly and fasten the nut. Position the assembly into the wheel well and manoeuvre the upper mount studs through the shock tower holes you'll then in place and tighten the three nuts to the specified torque using new nuts as advised. Place the spindle to the lower mounting flange of the strut/shock assembly and install two bolts, necessarily new ones as it is stated, and tighten them to the corresponding torque. Tighten the upper mount-shock assembly nut to the recommended torque in this case, then remove the jack from under the control arm and install the disc brake caliper. Last step of the job is to put the wheel back, lower the car and over tighten the lug nuts to the appropriate torque setting.

How to remove the rear shock absorbers on Mercury Grand Marquis?

The shock absorbers at the rear should be removed after raising and securing the vehicle's rear on jack stands. With automatic leveling rear suspension and Coil Spring for older models, let the rear axle hang freely until the shock absorbers finish venting through the compressor. Support the rear axle with a floor jack to keep it from falling when the shock absorbers are detached. For air-assisted shock absorbers, depress the retainer ring(s) and remove the lines by pulling them free. The top of the frame has an upper retaining nut for the shock absorber that can be found. Put an inner insulator and washer on top of it before you get your compressed shock absorber through that hole in this frame. Remove lower retaining nut and lower shock absorber mounting stud from mounting bracket. To make sure all air is expelled from the new shock absorber, extend and compress it several times before installing it.

Position the assembly into the wheel well and manoeuvre the upper mount studs through the shock tower holes you'll then in place and tighten the three nuts to the specified torque using new nuts as advised. Place the spindle to the lower mounting flange of the strut/shock assembly and install two bolts, necessarily new ones as it is stated, and tighten them to the corresponding torque. Tighten the upper mount-shock assembly nut to the recommended torque in this case, then remove the jack from under the control arm and install the disc brake caliper. Last step of the job is to put the wheel back, lower the car and over tighten the lug nuts to the appropriate torque setting.

Q:
How to remove the rear shock absorbers on Mercury Grand Marquis?
Posted by Edmund K.
A:
The shock absorbers at the rear should be removed after raising and securing the vehicle's rear on jack stands. With automatic leveling rear suspension and Coil Spring for older models, let the rear axle hang freely until the shock absorbers finish venting through the compressor. Support the rear axle with a floor jack to keep it from falling when the shock absorbers are detached. For air-assisted shock absorbers, depress the retainer ring(s) and remove the lines by pulling them free. The top of the frame has an upper retaining nut for the shock absorber that can be found. Put an inner insulator and washer on top of it before you get your compressed shock absorber through that hole in this frame. Remove lower retaining nut and lower shock absorber mounting stud from mounting bracket. To make sure all air is expelled from the new shock absorber, extend and compress it several times before installing it.
