Complete Your 2016 Ford Explorer Front Shock and Strut Job with the Right Tools and Parts

When tackling the replacement of front shocks and struts, it’s a good idea to gather a few related products and tools to ensure a smooth DIY experience. You’ll likely need new mounting hardware and possibly even fresh strut mounts, as these components can wear over time. Additionally, having a torque wrench handy is crucial for securely tightening those bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications, and a spring compressor is necessary if you’re working with coil-over struts to safely handle the spring’s pressure. Safety should always be a priority—make sure you’re using jack stands to support the vehicle securely and wearing safety glasses to protect your eyes from debris while you work. With the right tools and precautions, you can do this job confidently and get back on the road in no time!
