Ford F7AZ-18125-VA Kit - Shock Absorber

Start by blocking the rear wheels and applying the parking brake. Loosen the front wheel lug nuts and raise the front of the vehicle, supporting it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel. On coil spring models, remove the nut and washer from the top end of the shock absorber, and then remove the lower shock absorber mounting nut. If necessary, use a backup wrench on the hex provided on the lower part of the stud mount. On later leaf spring models, simply remove the upper shock mount bolt and nut. Remove the nut and bolt securing the bottom end of the shock absorber to the lower bracket or spacer plate. Remove the shock absorber and insulators.

To install the rear shock absorber, simply reverse the removal process.
