Hi, I am am new to the forum. I've actually been following for the last year, but just created an account recently. I have followed the threads about leaking shocks and cold start noises.
These are two issues with my expedition I am currently experiencing. I have atleast 2 shocks leaking and the motor seems to be making slight noises upon startup. The shocks inwould like to replace with bilstein, but am having trouble finding part numbers and exactly what I want. The motor noises I have ruled out as cam phasers and possibly an exhaust rattle that has been common with these motors.
What i would like to know is what shocks would everyone recommend? I am just going to replace with aftermarket since motorcraft shocks seem to be a weak spot with the expedition and my dealer is over an hour away.
I would like to go with bilsteins. From my understanding, the 5100 and 4600 are the exact same valving just a little different in size. I dont want to add any extra height and am going for functionality over looks since this is the family vehicle. I am having trouble finding any for 18+ expeditions. There are lots for the older models and I have read about guys here purchasing front for the f150. What do you guys recommend and thanks again!
