Some Lincoln MKC owners report experiencing issues with leaking rear right shocks, which necessitate prompt replacement to maintain vehicle performance. The replacement process requires specific tools such as a 13mm socket, 1/4 inch ratchet, and torque wrench for proper installation. After replacing the shock absorber, some owners find it necessary to calibrate the suspension system according to service manual instructions to ensure optimal functionality. Additionally, the installation of a new shock absorber can be challenging, involving the removal of bolts, harnesses, mounts, and dust covers. Owners also note that a worn-out shock can lead to a floaty or bouncy ride, underscoring the importance of timely replacement to preserve ride quality.
