WARRANTY WORK NEEDED

[rugedraw]

Probably should last longer than 9 months & 6800 miles I would think.

I'm pretty sure the leaky shocks is a known issue on these vehicles. I don't see any reaon why the dealer would give you any resistance replacing the affected shock(s).

I agree, but I've seen shocks, brake pads, rotors, and many other parts declared wear items and refused warranty replacement even though they failed much sooner than they should have.

I'll find out Monday. My rep said it should be a warranty item with this short history.

Left side is clean and dry. If it's not a warranty item, I will replace it myself. Ford part $134.00

I'll correct that in my next post just to keep everyone happy.

I wouldn't even worry about it.

Man, I’ll tell you one thing I learned years back.

Writing out long posts, and separating thoughts into their own paragraphs makes it a million times easier to decipher when you’re reading.

Having to read someone’s 19 line paragraph gets complicated sometimes. Even more so when people can’t comprehend punctuation.

I’ve been writing this way since ~2006.

I’ll admit, when I see someone’s post and it’s a single paragraph, I’ll read about three lines into it, and then skip the rest.

Ah, the dreaded Wall of Text. I'm the same way; if I see a massive, monolithic paragraph I'm unlikely to even attempt reading it.

Don't even get me started about unpunctuated run-on sentences...

Most people will only read the 1st and maybe 2nd paragraph of an email, text, msg, etc... We were always taught to keep it short.

If I can remember to do it, I will comply. STANDBY.

I always look at it like this. When a factory part fails that's when it time to upgrade! Why would I want to put the same thing on and it fail again?

The link is to the front strut assembly. No issues with my front struts.

Right now I'm not ready to change the stock suspension parts.

I understand your dilemma. One of my rears went bad at about 30,000 miles (but past 36 mos). Both rears were replaced under my extended warranty. Now, at 45,000 miles and 5 years, all is fine. I have to decide if I need a new shock now do I go with OEM (that extended warranty thing) or upgrade to Bilstines — decisions, decisions

That's correct, Bilstein sells the rears as well. I was just pointing you to the page where the products are sold so you could begin your search.

Here's the link for everything they sell for the Bronco Sport Badlands.

Thanks for the info. First, I'm pursuing the warranty route. We'll see where that goes before I spend on aftermarket parts.
