If you are doing this and especially if you live in rust belt, you should change those upper brackets as well. There is a rubber bushing in there that wears out. Mine were making a "clunk" noise from the left rear and that is primarily caused from wear in the bracket. I ordered new shocks, new brackets, and new dust boots (since they have the rubber bumper integrated to keep it from bottoming out) and the bumpers definitely were not very rubbery anymore. If you are buying OEM Motorcraft shocks, be sure to order the nut for the shock as well since they do not come with a new one.
About to do this. When you get the 15mm top but close just angle grind the nut off. Might save some headache
Thank you so much for this video. Doing mine in two days hopefully it goes smoothly
Your welcome, hope everything goes well for you. Let us know how you make out with it.
I just did mine. Thanks for the video. I too ended up having to cut through the strut to get the nut off by putting it in a vice clamp. Other videos stated that they were able to do it with just vice grips, but that old nut gets almost welded on the top of it. From my understanding, those Monroe shocks are really good. Now my fusion feels really good while driving.
Glad it helped out! Thanks for watching!
Good info appreciate that
My shock broke while picking my wife up after she got rear ended this morning. So far not to difficult, just waiting for my local O'Reilly's to get my shock mounts in this afternoon. Figured I should replace those too.
Thanks for the video. If I ever meet you, remind me to buy you a new pair of pants!😅
I'm sorry to hear of your wife's accident I hope all is ok. Sounds like it's been one of those days. Great idea changing both out at the same time.
Hope the video helps. As for my pants, best ventilation for those hot summer months!!🤣
Thanks for watching, hope you have a great rest of your week!🙂
@@GreatLakesJunction lol, I guess ventilation is important! Thanks for the well wishes. Definitely one of those days. All is ok, thanks!
Getting ready to do this now, also my shock mount. I got motorcraft parts from Amazon😎
Good luck! 🤞Hope all goes smoothly for you!!
I should have gotten the Motorcraft shocks.
I hope you still know this, i just got some new shock to replace my terribly worn ones, and the nut for the lower bolts is attached to the bracket on the bottom of the shock and the new shocks didnt come with nuts. Do you remember the size and thread pitch of the rear lower shock mounting bolts? Thank you.
No sorry I don't remember. Hopefully you can use the old bolts your removing. Thanks for watching!

Ahh, it's a moo point now anyway... The shocks I'm replacing are replacements themselves. Already got nuts for the bolts. My problem now is I'm having trouble getting the right rear wheel off ... Gonna have to use some coercion. Thanks for the input and the video!
@@okayestguitar66 Your welcome, good luck with the job. Hope it goes smooth!
Is the fusion in this video the 1.5l 4cyl turbo motor?
Yes it's a 4 cyl but not a turbo.
I am about to replace my rears. I think I might just spend the money to get new mounting brackets and the plastic piston covers. A little more expensive, but then I could avoid the issues with the shock nut. I don't have a vise here. If I sub-assmble the new shocks then it's just the 4 bolts to reinstall. I could just toss the old shocks out.
that will make the job easy. good luck
@@GreatLakesJunction Well I couldn't believe how much the new covers were. So I took the angle grinder and cut the piston in two. The old nuts were rusted bad and I tried to get one off, but I cut it off in a few minutes and kept going. I needed the new mounts anyway. Mine were shot. Took me a couple hours with phone breaks. Car rides great and no clunking. If I were to do it over I'd get Motorcraft shocks. Install would have been even easier.
Heat up nut....you got a new one
