Motorcraft.all I’m looking for is to restore the original ride and feel.
Just put some Monroe shocks in it then and keep the springs.Anyone who can recommend the best shocks and struts for an ‘08 expedition EL Eddie Bauer, standard coilovers. I’ve gotten so many recommendations and all I’m looking for is to restore the original ride and feel.
Original springs have been gone a long time ago.Just put some Monroe shocks in it then and keep the springs.
Everybody seems to think a little stiffer is going to be a little better and I think many makers can't really perfect the original spring rate. I would either go with the springs in it and just get some shocks like Monroes or take a chance on some new spring/shock assemblies.Original springs have been gone a long time ago.
I just can’t believe that it’s so difficult to find oem feel and drive shocks and struts for an American built vehicle.
I agree, I think people just like to throw parts at vehicles for no good reason. They put new springs in along with the shock just because it is easier and faster even though the springs are perfectly fine. I will change my shocks (only) when the truck feels like a pogo stick going down the road and over bumps. Also the new spring/shock combos they put in is usually stiffer because the maker wants to give the sense of stiffer is better.You may think I'm joking , but I'm not. How do you know when your shocks & struts & springs or whatever is "bad"? My 2014 seems fine but I don't know how to know when the stuff is not working right. 108K miles on her. No leaking.
I still have all original parts on my 2003 with 180K and it seems fine also.
Neither does any pogo stick over bumps in the road.
