How do you remove the front struts on a 2003 mercury marauder?

To remove the front struts on a 2003 Mercury Marauder, first, safely lift and support the vehicle and remove the front wheels. Disconnect the sway bar link and the brake line bracket from the strut, then remove the upper strut mount bolts from the engine bay. Finally, remove the lower strut mounting bolts from the knuckle and carefully pull the strut assembly out of the vehicle. Make sure to follow safety precautions and consider using a spring compressor if you're also replacing the strut springs.
