New Shocks on Mountaineer
It was suggested that I replace the shocks on my 2003 Mountaineer V8
with about 70,000 miles. What should I replace them with? More OEM shocks (the originals seemed fine when new)? I also understand that Mountaineer and Explorer use different shocks. Does this difference have any bearing on what I should have installed as replacements?

I replaced the originals on my '92 with Bilsteins and I was happy with them.

New Shocks on Mountaineer
Suggested by whom? The person selling them? Seems little early to be
replacing shocks unless they are obviously bad or leaking so make sure you get a 2nd opinion. -- Allan Williams "Daniel David Palmer" > wrote in message . .. > It was suggested that I replace the shocks on my 2003 Mountaineer V8 with > about 70,000 miles. > > What should I replace them with?
