Bouncy suspension

[Mike Wolfe]

Traded our 2018 EXPY XLT with FX4 & HD Tow for 2020 Expedition limited with HD Tow
Rear of vehicle just too "BOUNCY" compared to our 2018
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Does anyone have a good solution?

Ccd or base?....choppy bounce or floaty bounce?

 

[Mike Wolfe]

NO CCD
Floaty bounce

Sounds like your rear shocks went bad.

 

[Mike Wolfe]

only 300 miles on the vehicle
Has been that way since we got it with 50 miles on it

 

[dlcorbett]

Base shocks are notorious for going bad. Also, it sounds like it's been sitting for awhile, so that also can be why as well. Take it back n have a tech ride wit you in it as well as another similar truck and point out how one is bouncier than the other.

I had this issue when my rear struts were worn. Could be a bad part from the factory that failed prematurely.

 

[Mike Wolfe]

our 2018 EXPY with the FX4 option had much better suspension
Wonder what complete rear struts for an FX4 would cost

 

[dlcorbett]

I believe the fx4 at the time had different brand of shock than Regular. I will tell you, my 18 limited (or any limited I've driven on normal shocks) never felt overly bouncy.

Rear struts are most likely blown and leaked their oil.
