Not seeing any fluid leak but since we got our 2018 rig the back end would kick out when hitting potholes and the like. It has continued to get worse. So bad that when traveling through Texas on the highway would hit rough spot and rear end would kick out so bad it was scary.
I am assuming it is the shock and considering bilstien install.
Would you all assume the same? 50k miles on it now. It’s getting really bad. Extended warranty has shocks/struts as an exclusion.
I bought a '15 XLT short wheelbase last year. It had 49k on it and stock shocks. By 55k I was experiencing what you're talking about on smooth Florida highways. On parts where I new the roads were bad I had to hold the wheel with both hands and it still scared the crap out of me it would kick out so bad.
I ended up ordering Bilstein 5100's from 4 Wheel Parts at the beginning of July. By the end of September they still hadn't shown up so I canceled the ordered and bought KYB Excel G shocks. This immediately fixed the problem as well as improved the ride.
What a crock that Ford continues to use these crap shocks. Unbelievable.
