Removal
Mark the position of the wheels on the hub with paint so that they can be installed in the same place during assembly. Loosen the wheel nuts on the lowered car. Raise the front of the car and remove the front wheels.
Disconnect the brake hose holder from the shock absorber strut.
Remove the brake caliper, see paragraph 15.2.
Hang the brake caliper with wire on the inner mudguard, making sure not to twist or pull the brake hose. The brake hose remains connected, otherwise you will have to bleed the brake system after installation.
Where necessary, disconnect the brake pad wear indicator multi-pin plug.
Press out the pin "3" of the transverse steering rod from the steering knuckle "1", see paragraph 13.1.
Where necessary, remove ABS sensor "5" from the steering knuckle.
Remove the inner clamp of the inner rubber cuff of the axle shaft.
Unscrew nut "3" and disconnect connecting rod "2" of anti-roll bar "1" from the shock absorber strut.
Unscrew the clamp bolt "8" and the ball joint nut "6" of the lower transverse arm "7" and pull the transverse arm down from the steering knuckle.
Caution! Do not damage the ball joint seal. Wrap it in a cloth to protect it.
Where necessary, disconnect the electronic shock absorber adjustment plug and disconnect the wire from the shock absorber strut.
Remove the cap "1" of the shock absorber strut nut in the engine compartment.
Unscrew the upper nut securing the shock absorber strut with an 18 mm open-end wrench with a deep bend. While unscrewing, hold the shock absorber rod from turning with a 6 mm Allen key.
Remove the shock absorber strut, driveshaft and steering knuckle as an assembly.
Remove the shock absorber strut from the steering knuckle. To do this, unscrew the clamp bolt on the steering knuckle.
Spread the knuckle clamp and remove the shock absorber strut. For this, the FORD service station uses the 14-039 device. The device is inserted into the groove of the knuckle, as shown in the figure, and the lever is turned 90°. thereby releasing the shock absorber strut. For this operation, you can use a chisel or a suitable pry bar, paying attention not to damage the parts.
Installation
Insert the shock absorber strut into the steering knuckle. Remove the expanding device.
Install the new self-locking shock absorber clamp bolt, making sure the bolt goes through the slot in the mounting plate. Tighten the clamp bolt to 85 Nm.
Install the shock absorber strut, axle shaft and steering knuckle.
Tighten the upper nut of the shock absorber strut by hand.
Install the driveshaft axle and secure the rubber seal with a new clamp.
Insert the ball pin of the anti-roll bar connecting rod into the hole in the shock absorber strut and tighten to a torque of 50 Nm.
Insert the ball joint of the wishbone into the hole in the steering knuckle from below and tighten the clamp bolt to a torque of 80 Nm (on a new ball joint - to a torque of 55 Nm).
Screw in the ABS sensor, if removed, 10 Nm.
Attach the tie rod head to the steering knuckle and tighten to 25-30 Nm, secure the connection with a new cotter pin. If the cotter pin does not fit into the hole, tighten the threaded connection until the cotter pin fits into the hole.
Connect the electronic shock absorber adjustment multi-pin plug where necessary and secure the wire to the shock absorber strut.
Install the brake caliper, see paragraph 15.2.
If the brake hose has come loose, remove air from the brake system, see item 15.12.
Connect the multi-pin plug of the brake pad wear indicator where required.
Screw the brake hose holder to the shock absorber strut.
Install the front wheels so that the marks applied earlier match. Before installing the wheels, lubricate the centering surface on the wheel hub with a thin layer of grease. Screw on the wheel mounting nuts. Lower the car and tighten the nuts crosswise to a torque of 100 Nm.
Tighten the upper nut of the shock absorber strut to a torque of 45 Nm, while holding the shock absorber rod from turning.
Check the brake hose and ABS sensor wire for freedom of movement. To do this, an assistant should turn the front wheels from one extreme position to the other.
