2005 ST

[Ian Dalton]

HI everyone,



I know everybody recommends changing shocks on the ST. I'm looking at a 2005 ST with 5k on it and was wondering if Ford had fixed this issue on the 2005 or is it still necessary.



Thanks

Ian

Yours are probably 4,995 miles overdue for changing.

 

[Ian Dalton]

LOL, That bad huh? I wonder why Ford never changed this?

Ian,



No reason to "fix" the shocks. For the average person, they are happy with them. The shocks are not bad, they are just designed for a vehicle that weighs about 600 LBS less then the Trac does.

I have an '05 and put Sensa Tracs on already. Big difference.

I put Munroe reflex's on the frt and Munroe maxi Air's on the rear...made an incredible differenvce in the ride and handling

Ian, new shocks and an EE swaybar or Roadmaster Active suspension system will do wonders for the ride and handling.

I used to think the OEM shocks were just fine, until around 5,000 miles on the Trac. AT that point, the shocks were gone and I nearly had two accidents from the rear end bouncing uncontrollably on the OKC highways.

I was a hold out too, but new ProComp 9000s made a HUGE difference.



The old shocks seemed to have hardly any resistance.



Change 'em out and start to Live a little!
