Shock absorbers or strut assemblies.
The same way you do any macpherson strut assembly...If you aren't familiar with the procedure, take it to a professional. Spring/strut assemblies can be dangerous if not serviced properly.
Yes. It is possible to purchase just the coil. Entire strut / coil assemblies can also be purchased for a very simple unit assembly as well.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Jack up the car. Remove the entire strut assembly - spring and shock cartridge - on both sides. Buy new shock cartridges. Take the strut assemblies and the new cartridges to a Midas Muffler shop or somewhere that's got a spring compressing machine. They'll change the cartridges for you safely, and cheaper than buying the tool you need to do this. Then go home and reinstall the strut assemblies.
Yes, many strut assemblies, particularly in automotive suspension systems, have a bearing at the top known as a strut mount bearing. This bearing allows for smooth rotation of the strut as the wheels turn, helping maintain proper alignment and reducing friction. It also supports the weight of the vehicle and absorbs some impact from the road. Regular inspection and maintenance of this component are essential for optimal performance and handling.
Airbus are manufactured in sub-assemblies, in many places in England, Germany and France and finally assembled at Toulouse, France
From what I recall the only visible difference is the mounting brackets for brake hoses and the hub/disc assy. Oh, and they have different part numbers....
pressure of a strut
All use strut / coil assemblies on the front. I think the station wagons use shocks (at least my 1987 Taurus wagon did IF I recall correctly). See "Related Questions" below for more
you will need a spring compressor to do this job. or you could remove the strut & spring assembly & take them to a local shop and have them swap strut assemblies. if you dont have a spring compressor, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS REPAIR. the springs are very strong and can injure you severely. i will tell you how to get the assembly out. once the tire is off, you will see 2 bolts on the lower end of the strut. remove these 2 bolts. then, under the hood you will see 3 13mm bolts holding the strut mount in. remove these and the strut assembly will come right out. after this, you need a spring compressor. also you will have to have a wheel alignment performed after replacement, your alignment angles will be all messed up when you are done. this is normal.
