Wow! Now I know why struts for my town car, were also sold with upper control arms, stabilizer links, ball joints & extra strength Tylenol

I couldn't help but notice where you re-chamfered the lower strut bolt where you beat it flat hammering it out. That's a crucial bit of information. If that happens to someone attempting this, they'll never be able to get the nut started

great instructible. the bottom shock bolt was fiddly to get back in, otherwise, just time. about 4 hours for me, a somewhat suspension experienced shade tree mechanic. 77 years old.

Exactly what I needed to see. Going to be installing rear shocks and front struts on my 2003 Grand Marquis. The torque specs are greatly appreciated. Subbed! :)

118 ft lb for the caliper bolts? Are you sure? The Haynes manual says a lot less

Would it be the same for a crown Victoria police interceptor 2011?

Great video! Question though, Is there a trick getting the 3 upper bolts in? Once you get the strut in the lower controll arm I don't see any way of twisting the strut to get them lined up with the bolt holes.
