I searched the earlier topic on Expeditions and found some people posting questions on replacement shocks, but found no answers. I have a 1997 Eddie Bauer 4x4 without the load leveling suspension and 50K miles. I would like to upgrade the shocks. Does anyone have any first hand experience?

Does anyone have any pics of 2001 or page that has them? |

I have 1999 Ford EB Expedition. It use to shake between 67 to 70 Mph. The fix is as follows: 1. Have the tires re-balanced and indexed. The indexing I'm not sure what it is. My guess is that the tire stem has to be at a certain location with respect to the tire. 2. The drive shaft has to be re-indexed and balanced. Those 2 steps should cure your shaking problem. It cured mine. One more thing once the drive shaft is re-balanced and indexed you'll need the tires re-aligned. The balancing of the drive shaft caused my truck to go out of alignment. GOOD LUCK... |

| I have put Edlebrock IAS Shocks on my Explorer (before it traded it for an Expedition) and a Jeep Wrangler. Huge improvement in cornering,no sacrifice in ride. Best results were on the Explorer. It rode like it was on rails. Of course the Jeep is still a Jeep, how good could it possibly get? It did improve, but not to the degree that the Explorer did. Monroe has been advertising a similar shock lately. The Edlebrocks are not cheap, around $75 each, the Monroes are around $79. I am going to put the Edlebrocks on my Expedition shortly. | |

| I had the reindexing done also, as well as the drive shaft. Still have the problem. I'm waiting (although no so patiently anymore) for a new computer control module. We'll have to see how that does. | |
| Can anyone give me an Idea what I will have to pay for an extended warranty on a 00 or 01 exedition Eddie 4x4? Just about to take the plunge and it will be my safety net. | |
| I am looking at buying an expedition that has a little 4-6" tv that folds out of the roof. Has anyone owned this type and how did it work for you? | |

Our '98 Expedition has been non-stop problems. Yes, it was previously loved and had 27k when we got it- beautiful white w/tan leather - size matters. Unfortunately the beauty was only skin deep. Rear WS wiper- 4 times, rear A/C stopped, rear tail lights quit, short circuit that drained battery, passenger side seat heater (6 months to get heat element). End of warranty - check engine light (#4 cylinder coil)$140, A/C gasket $242, starts and goes dead and we're trying fuel filter change and PCV valve change. Worst vehicle we have ever had. We put 158k on '88 Taurus and 170k on 4Runner and '98 Expedition has spent more time in dealer service bay than those other 2 vehicles combined. Average mileage for 13,000 miles is 13.9 - highest tank mileage was 18.9 - lowest was 9.8. Now trying full synthetic oil to see if I can get better. Anybody else had as many problems as me?

did you do a History check on it? Sounds like a good candidate. Unfortunately, sometimes that information gets "lost" depending what state is involved. |
