My Ford Fiesta has forty five thousand miles on the clock. I have noticed the front suspension is not the way it used to be. I can feel the bumps in the road a little more now. I read my Ford owners handbook and the Ford manual and they both directed me to the front Macpherson Struts that house the front shock absorbers.
Tools needed
After having checked in the manual etc., I noticed I would need just basic tools and one special instrument to compress the springs on the struts themselves.
After some internet surfing I found a local car shop who sells the spring compressors for eighteen pounds so I purchased them the very next day.
The genuine ford shock absorbers were very reasonably priced. I thought if the last set lasted this long from new then genuine Ford parts are the best option.
They will fit perfectly and complement the cars handling, bringing it back to the way it used to drive and feel.
The first step is to find a suitable safe area to carry out the repair. It should be level and away from moving traffic. You may wish to cone off the area or use signage to warn people about the repair you are doing.
DO NOT LEAVE THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION AS THIS COULD
RESULT IN SOMEONE TRYING TO MOVE THE CAR AND CAUSE
