I threw the lower shock bolt in the garbage (it was far worse than yours was) and went and bought a 1/2” grade 8 bolt with a smooth shank. Using one that is threaded all the way was a poor design by ford. I did have to run a 1/2” drill bit through the lower shock mount holes on the lower control arm to size it up from 3/8”. The 1/2” bolt fit in the bushing sleeve perfectly, didn’t bind, and also had zero play. The rear shocks had the correct style bolt and didn’t need to be replaced.

OK, I don’t get it. Why do you guys keep using vice grips under the shock there’s a locking nut on the top of the shock under the metal part of the frame. I believe it’s a 19 mm no vice grips are needed. You’re doing it the hard way you guys say you need to do this on the back too, but I did it with the 19 mm on the back but you don’t need vice grips. Just use a 19 mil on the bottom and whatever the bolt is on the top.

Where is your spring? I have a spring around my shock...

Question: Can I use 97-03 Fl50 Front Shocks on 98-02 Crown Vic/Grand Marquis???

[@doofydoof7129]

Do you have too take the springs off as well?

Is there anyway I would know the exact ride height? 6:16

The replacement bolts from ford are really expensive. Do you happen to know the length/thread pitch of these bolts and the ones at the rear shocks?

[@TRQ]

+StormLaker1975 We do not have the measurements that you are looking for available. They will be the same as the original equipment hardware. You should be able to find these parts locally.

This is not how the front shocks mount on a 1998 2wd.

Sabrás las medidas de los amortiguadores delanteros y traseros para una Ford f150 4x4 2001 cabina sencilla?

[@renemir891]

Can it be done without lifting the truck?

[@keithdaviau7582]

If you took a wire brush and cleaned the threads on bolt first that nut probably would have backed off more.

+@CoalChrome This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
