I have a 1994 towncar and I took the bags off mine and put springs on them. Ford sell a conversion kit. Its really not a kit its just two springs that fit where the bags are. It ran about 250 for the kit. And my mechanic had them on in no time. Some places charge alot but its simple. Buy the kit from Ford and do it yourself. Also you can find the after market bags on eBay for around 80 bucks.
The spring supports the weight of the car and allows the suspension to move over bumps. The shock controls the movement of the spring so it doesn't keep bouncing.
The coil spring provides suspension and absorbs shock.
Depends on the type of suspension... MacPherson strut suspension- strut, lower control arm, spring, knuckle, sway bar and end links Independent A arm suspension- upper and lower A arm, knuckle, sway bar, end links, spring and shock Multi-link- (4-5 arms) knuckle, sway bar, end links, spring and shock
A suspension check is a review of the parts of an automobile that constitute the suspension system. These include CV joints, shock absorbers, and struts.
Defective shock absorber , broken spring
Under the axel (rod for steering), NEXT to the shock absorber (spring for suspension)
It has to do with the suspension,probably worn out shock`s or spring`s or both,maybe even a strut.
compress the suspension and measure. Fully flex the suspension and measure. You will be measuring the length between the two shock mounts. At that point you can order whatever shock you need based off of the length and not vehicle specific.
Suspension spring? Allows vehicle to drive over roads that are not perfect without breaking solidly mounted parts. The springs "cushion" the ride allowing vehicle to "bounce". The shock absorbers limit this "bounce" so driver can maintain control of the vehicle
Rebound: refers to the expansion of the spring/shock after it has been compressed from going over bumps.
i need a diagram for a 1984 caprice front suspension or if someone can tell me if the shock connected to the coil spring?
Strutmasters make an excellent kit, easy directions, a regular guy with regular tools can do it. No it's not an excellant kit it's inferior and poor quality. You can fix your air suspension easier and probably cheaper without depreciating the value of your car. Hope this helps Mark VII Heaven
