Re: Escort Suspensions

If you are swapping the whole assembly then it is very simple.

Jack up the front end and remove the wheels.
Disconnect the brake hose from the strut (hot from the hub).
Remove the lower bolts that mount the strut to the hub, and then remove the upper bolts on the strut mount (under the hood).
You should have sufficient room to wiggle the entire strut assembly out.

There should be some sort of marker on the top strut mount. That marker should be oriented toward the center of the vehicle when reinstalled.

Be sure to torque your bolts appropriately.

Done!
