I didn't lose the reservoir, but had 1 rot out and leak at 42k miles. Obviously I was out of warranty and Ford wasn't going to replace it for free. When the next one rots out (may have already happened as ride is bumpier than normal) I'll probably switch to the Bilstein 6110's. These current shocks are garbage!
It's fine.
Appreciate it bro. I can live with the squeaking, also glad Im not the only one with this issue
Hi Carmelo! I can look into your Bronco's noise concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Bronco's VIN?
Ty, PM sent as well
That's my biggest concern as well.
It would suck for innocent victims to have their vehicle damaged because Ford cheaped out on shocks. I really hope Ford and Bilstein are looking into this as more and more Broncos on the roads will make for more opportunities for this to happen as long as these shocks are faulty.
It's a little concerning the amount of rust on the shock relative to the rest of the undercarriage components that look new in comparison while the shock looks 10 years old. The paint must be be ultra-thin as it's down to bare metal in most places. I realize Ford squeezed them down to an ultra-low price point but Bilstein should be embarrassed for putting their name on such a shoddy product.
