i just bought a 2015 X have questions about suspension

[Virgil miranda]

i have 2015 x limited with 20" wheels it has 44k on it . this is my first expedition ive ha a few newer f150s my question is is our suspension anything fancy ive read different things on different years and models like ccd, load leveling , advancetrac rsc, etc not sure what i have but my truck feels like its all over place when i hit bumps not sure if thats how these ride cause im use to f150s or if theres issues with my suspension

 

[bobmbx]

Expeditions are large SUVs, and they are top-heavy compared to most other vehicle designs. That will give you the sensation that you're tipping over or wallowing as you drive around. Its unlikely, but not impossible, that your suspension is having an issue considering the mileage.

it just feels real bouncy thats all not use to that if its normal

 

[oldpaddy]

My '14 doesn't feel bouncy at all. Sounds like you've got something else going on.

I just bought a 2016 with 46k. No way I would call it bouncy. Much smoother ride ride than the 2014 Sienna with 50k miles I got rid of.

Sounds like something is wrong.

does anyone know what kind of suspension system i have is there anything electrical with my suspension front or rear

 

[Sccritterkiller]

Fronts are standard coil over...I would check the rear for load leveling bags...

No, you shouldn’t have anything electronic or electric on your suspension. That only came with the 22” wheels. You could have load-leveling shocks in the rear, but only way to tell is by part number or verifying the build through the window sticker or ETIS. Air suspension was not an option on the 15-17s.
The front suspension is, for all intents and purposes, an identical design to the F-150. The rear is obviously different, but should ride better than an F-150. It’s basically the same style as the front suspension. If it’s wallowing all over the place, I’d give the shocks a bounce test and see if they’re bad.

what is bounce test

 

[Muddy Bean]

We don’t have load leveling bags in the rear...they are nivomat struts if you purchase the option. No bags. Yes they self level. They ride smooth. Check your tire pressure.

what is bounce test

Push down hard on the right rear 2 times and release. The truck should not continue to bounce. If it does you need new shocks. Repeat on the left.

my window sticker says option self load rr lvl suspension

 

[Virgil miranda]

is there a way to see if rear load leveling shocks are working

False, not on expy

Just jump up and down in a corner seat and see how it reacts

i jumped on the running board till it bounced then jumped off it definitely bounced more than once

 

[Adieu]

Yeah suspension is a bit less than optimal then

Depends how many times and how far it bounces though...

PS dont jump on the running board, that had its own sag and can potentially screw it up

i tried pushing down on it not big enough or strong enough thats y i bounced on running board wats best way do fronts and rears. how can i tell if load leveling shocks are working

Just bounce on a seat or door sill

Pushing on bumpers is more likely to screw things up

ok if shocks are bad what should it do

 

[Adieu]

Bounce and rebound back and forth a number of times
