    I'm having issues getting the rear struts replaced under the "Maximum Plan" extended warranty on my 2015 EL XLT. My Expedition started bouncing all over the place sending the backseat riders flying into the headliner. There was no visible damage. When I discovered the suspension issue I had...

When going over a speed bump, the suspensions are just too harsh. Since I bought the car, I have replaced the shock absorbers twice (in the folder dealer). The...

    Bilstein loaded assy?

    Had poor experience getting Bilsteins istalled for the rear of my 2012 XLT 4X4 (as posted on this forum from others). Contacted Joseph Smith at Bilstein; he claimed to have put in a request for Bilstein to make rear loaded assemblies (like 6112). Now is a good time for everyone to contact...

    Air ride to springs/shocks in 1st gen 2001 EB 4x4?

    After reading about potential issues and eventual failure, I'm thinking about changing out the air ride in my 2001 EB 4x4 to standard springs and shocks. What else is available out there for air ride to Spring/shock kits besides Monroe? Nothing against Monroe, just curious if there's something...
