GO TO Best Shocks, Struts & Suspensions

I have a 2011 US Ford Fiesta Mark-VI (6th Generation). I needed the rear shock absorbers because my buddy showed me they had burned out during an oil change at his shop. After speaking to him it seems there are stock shocks that include the mounting bracket used in my car and he told me that Monroe shocks will not work but as shown in the picture you just need to remove the bracket and reinstall to new. Shock. There was a great video on youtube about replacing the rear shock absorbers on the Fiesta Mark-V (5th gen), but an update for newer 2011 models is to use an adjustable wrench to hold the top of the shock absorber (approx .1/4 inch). . This is how you can unscrew the 10mm nut. Otherwise, unlike previous generations, it just spins in place. I hope this helps as I am very happy with the results.

Pros
  • Shock Absorber
Cons
  • Operating Speed
