Purchased a 2011 XLT Premium 2WD (no air suspension) with 68k miles a few months ago to replace a 2003 EB 4.6. Upon driving on the highway I was immediately displeased with the handling, it had a pronounced wallowing, floating drive. Around town it bounces over any significant bump. It is nothing like my 2003 was, which had a firm, stable ride even after 170,000 miles on the '03. The struts appear ok, no leaking, tires seem to be wearing evenly, but I took the '11 to the shop anyway, they said the struts were ok and it was just the normal ride for the vehicle. I am not comfortable driving the vehicle at highway speeds, I feel the risk of over-correction is too high. I assume the answer is strut replacement, but is this something others have experienced? And the obvious question, which struts?
