[@jonathansuit9908]

I'm doing all four today and using your video as a reference. Thank you very much for making this available.

[@zachmiller289]

I hope it helps! I have videos of front and rear for this vehicle. Thanks for watching!

Shock absorber-to-lower arm bolt and flag nut, 332 Ft lbs. Shock absorber-to-upper mounting plate nut, 22 Ft lbs. Great Video!

[@kevokell1]

Thanks for taking time to do this. Nice and clear...Good job!

[@Fershoo5]

I recently changed all 4 struts and that bottom bolt gave me trouble to get it in, pretty tricky but nothing too difficult to work on. Great job man.

[@zachmiller289]

Fernando Aragon thanks for the kind words! Yeah, it’s a pretty straight forward repair. That bottom bolt does put up a good little fight though. Haha

[@user-ll5xz7hj5l]

I am doing all four soon and this video helps alot bro, Thanks for the help and effort!!! smart clean work.

[@seanc6468]

Gotta do these too. Thanks again. I'm good on other things as far as trucks go. But this is helpful.

[@BK2dafullist]

Great video. What if the expedition is equipped with factory air ride suspension?

[@karenturner946]

Omg you made this look so Easy wish you could come do Mine Lol Thank You for sharing Darling

[@zachmiller289]

Haha well thanks for the compliment! If you decide to tackle it, I hope it helps! If you were in north Dallas area I would be glad to hell you out. Haha. Good luck! 👍

Great job, very helpful!

[@jamesmcguire7417]

Thanks very straight forward

[@hugosalazar7617]

I wonder if they sell rear camber adjustment bolts like they do the front. I have the lift kit on my 03 expedition and my rear tires are cambered inwards and are wearing out my new tires.

[@ivanolson2151]

Isn't that what the tie rod adjustments are for?

What is the best shock absorber for Ford Expedition 2014?

[@jaw707]

Good video thanks for uploading how has it been riding ?

[@zachmiller289]

Thank you! Much better than before! I’ve got a video for the front struts and upper control arms I’ll be uploading soon as well. The ride feels like new after all these repairs. Thanks for watching!

[@jaw707]

Zach Miller I want to get mine done your video definitely gave me some confidence I’ll be waiting for the video of the front

[@zachmiller289]

JAW you can do it! Feel free to subscribe if you haven’t already. I’ll post the front struts video in a day or so!

[@JohnDoe-bs2nm]

And what size socket is needed for the bottom bolt? 31mm?

[@zachmiller289]

This one was 30mm

[@JohnDoe-bs2nm]

Thanks getting the tools i dont have together now. Ill be using a 1/2 telescoping breaker bar instead of an impact wrench.

[@jayvelasco2198]

What brand are these shock/strut? Mine are way overdue for a replacement.

[@zachmiller289]

These were Sensen brand the customer supplied from RockAuto.

[@JohnDoe-bs2nm]

Are the jacks on the frame rails? nothing else needs to be jacked?

[@zachmiller289]

Yes, under the frame. You want the suspension to be able to sag down so it’s not under pressure. 👍 good luck!

[@JohnDoe-bs2nm]

Thanks alot, if i add this lift kit on amazon Supreme Suspensions - Full Lift Kit for 2003-2017 Ford Expedition 3" will it be alot harder to fit the shocks in, meaning line them up with the bottom bolt holes.

[@hubert-williams3379]

why did you change the structs?... What are the tell tell signs of a strut failing, other than the obvious low end

[@zachmiller289]

This was a customer request. However, the most common signs of failing shocks/struts are oil leaking and a very bumpy ride where the vehicle continues to bounce up and down after going over a dip in the road.

[@hubert-williams3379]

@@zachmiller289 Oil leaking??, What oil? From where?...I have 03 Expedition I changed the front struts only because I thought it was time too. The ride is not smooth over bumps front or rear, no bouncing

[@zachmiller289]

@@hubert-williams3379 inside the shocks there’s gas/oil. When the seal is worn or fails you’ll start to see oil accumulate on the body of the shock. acurazine.com/forums/attachments/2g-tsx-problems-fixes-145/5984d1342376315-leaking-strut-img_0897.jpg
