What tools do I need to remove a strut?
You’ll have to get an alignment done afterward (about $100), but you’ll still save about $300 by doing the job yourself. You’ll need rust penetrant, wrenches, a pin punch or large screwdriver, and a thin piece of plywood. You may need to buy a few large sockets and a breaker bar. Here are the steps.
What size lug nut is on a 2017 Ford Fusion?
The lug nut socket size on a 2017 ford fusion is thread size: m12 x 1.50. Hex size: 19 mm.
Can you replace just the shock in a strut?
A shock cannot be used to replace a strut and a strut cannot be used to replace a shock. A vehicle will have either a shock or a strut at each wheel, never both. Every vehicle was designed with either shocks or struts and your vehicle’s suspension cannot be changed to use the other.
Can you change shocks without a jack?
You do not need to jack up the truck to remove or replace the REAR shocks. The front shock would require the truck to be jacked up to remove the tires.

Can Struts be tightened?

How big is the lug nut socket on a Ford Fusion SE?
Thanks for getting back to me KoreySE but I have to disagree. All of the lug nuts on my 2007 Fusion SE have the word “Metric” stamped right on the top of them. Like I said, a 19mm fits but it is sloppy and a 18mm is too small. I tried a 3/4″ and it fits too but it is about as sloppy as the 19mm.
How do you replace a Ford F-150 front strut?
Ford recommends using a pitman arm puller to separate the two. If you don’t want to buy one, you could also use a few taps with a hammer, or a pickle fork. Place the new strut where the old one went. Tighten the strut in its place with 17mm nuts.
How big should the lug nut socket be?
He said that the lug nut IS metric and that a 19MM socket is the correct size to be used. I asked him if it is o.k. to use a 3/4″ and he said “No, you shouldn’t”. I asked him about the slight sloppy feel of the 19mm socket and he said that he knew what I was referring to but it is normal on this type of lug nut. Thanks.
When to replace front shocks on Ford F-150?
If you notice the back of your car hitting the pavement, the shock fluid is visible, the front of your Ford F-150 pushes forward when you press the breaks, the car moves side to side when driving around corners or your car vibrates even when driving on smooth roads, it is time to replace your front struts and shocks.
