Section 5 (Front Suspension): Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Ford Mustang and 1998 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Front suspension is a modified MacPherson strut design. The design uses a damper, with coil spring located between lower control arm and a spring pocket in crossmember. Gas-pressurized hydraulic shock struts and a front stabilizer bar are used. See Fig 1 .
Shock struts are non-serviceable and must be replaced as an assembly. Installation of new front strut assemblies and/or springs in pairs is not required by manufacturer. Install front suspension assemblies and/or springs one at a time as required. Ball joints and control arm pivot bushings may be replaced individually.
