Installation & Safety Notes

To ensure a successful repair, please follow these guidelines:

1. Match in Pairs: For optimal handling and even tire wear, it is highly recommended to replace both front struts at the same time.
2. Torque Verification: Always use a torque wrench to tighten mounting nuts to the vehicle manufacturer’s specific foot-pound requirements.
3. Alignment Required: Replacing a strut assembly changes the vehicle’s geometry. A professional 4-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent rapid tire wear.
4. Suspension Check: While the strut is removed, inspect your sway bar links and control arm bushings for wear.

Why Choose This Complete Assembly?

Over time, coil springs lose their tension and struts lose their damping ability. Replacing just the strut cartridge often leaves you with an old, sagging spring. This Complete Loaded Strut ensures that every component in the assembly is brand new and working in harmony. It’s the smartest way to bring back the "new car feel" to your Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT while ensuring maximum safety for your family.
