Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps carefully

1

Loosen lugs and support the 2018-2019 Ford Edge Titanium

On level ground, crack the front wheel lug nuts loose on the 2018-2019 Ford Edge Titanium while the tire is on the ground. Chock the rear wheels, jack the front at the approved lift point, and support with jack stands rated for the 2018-2019 Ford Edge Titanium. Remove the wheel. Wear gloves and eye protection.

2

Support the knuckle and disconnect links

Place a jack or stand under the lower control arm/knuckle to support it. Disconnect the sway-bar end link and any ABS/brake-hose brackets attached to the strut on the 2018-2019 Ford Edge Titanium. Do not let the brake hose or ABS wire stretch.

3

Separate the strut from the knuckle

Remove the strut-to-knuckle pinch bolt(s) or bolts. If stuck, apply penetrant and carefully tap the knuckle ears — do not hammer the threads. Lower the knuckle slightly to free the strut tube. Note orientation of any camber bolts/eccentrics for reassembly on the 2018-2019 Ford Edge Titanium.

4

Unbolt the upper mount and remove the strut

Open the hood and remove the upper strut-mount nuts (usually three). Support the strut so it cannot fall. Lower and remove the complete strut assembly from the wheel well. Compare the new unit to the old one before installing on the 2018-2019 Ford Edge Titanium.

5

Install the new strut assembly

Guide the new strut (or cartridge/spring assembly if rebuilt) into place. Start the upper mount nuts loosely, then seat the strut into the knuckle. Install knuckle bolts in the original orientation and tighten to the specified torque. Reattach end link and brackets on the 2018-2019 Ford Edge Titanium.

6

Torque upper nuts, reinstall wheel, and align

Torque the upper mount nuts to spec. Reinstall the wheel and torque lugs in a star pattern with the 2018-2019 Ford Edge Titanium on the ground. Bounce-test and road-test the 2018-2019 Ford Edge Titanium for noise. Get a professional alignment — strut work changes camber/caster.

All Done!

Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • • Not properly securing the vehicle before starting the repair
  • • Failing to use a spring compressor when removing the strut assembly
  • • Over-tightening or under-tightening the strut mounting nuts and bolts
