This document is a single-page exploded parts diagram from Mitchell Repair Information Company (© 2003), titled "SUSPENSION - REAR." It shows Fig. 1, a coil spring type rear suspension assembly as used on Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car models, courtesy of Ford Motor Co., and is labeled for the 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria. The illustration depicts the rear axle assembly with the differential housing, axle tube, and brake drum, along with labeled callouts identifying the major suspension components: the shock absorber (shown with its upper mounting hardware), spring insulators, upper control arm, rear coil spring, jounce bumper, and lower control arm. The figure carries the illustration number 26782. A reader can learn the identity, general location, and relative arrangement of the rear coil-spring suspension components on these full-size Ford panther-platform sedans, which is useful when disassembling, inspecting, or replacing rear springs, shocks, insulators, or control arms. The page was printed Friday, February 13, 2004 at 12:19PM and contains no torque specifications, part numbers, or written procedures — it is purely a labeled component identification diagram.
