Excursion suspension(not typical)
Here is the deal I live on a dirt road but the problem isnt just on them its on the normal paved road i feel every little bump and its driving me nuts.i realize the excursion is on. Truck frame but i mean every bump. Any help on what could fix this problem wold be great. Here is what i have
2002 ford excursion limited Blistien shocks all around Ras in the rear 146xxx miles Resent repairs and maintance Ball joints, tires (285/75/16 at 70psi e rating),steering gear, sway bar bushings, tie rods and ends, and an alinment. Thanks Chris |
Let some air outa the tires for starters... Also the E's arent helping you much, tow heavy I assume?
|
Are your springs stock ??....if the are..... you are beating the bumpstops stupid.....get new springs......v/b codes from F250
|
Are those codes for 4x4s. Because i have a 2wd and coils up front. Whats the explanation for the poor ride on paved roads? I understand the dirt road bottoming out but not the paved road
Thanks |
2wd Excursion... If your not happy with the ride now, your going to be really unhappy...
About the only thing you can do is go with a wider D rated tire and air it down a bit. |
Get your bilsteins revalved too, I have heard mixed reviews with them on these trucks. Cary T would be the guy to contact.
|
Was thinking about ditching the bilsteins and going with something else. Any suggestions?
|
Sounds like your shocks may not be dampening due to being wore out, and you are just riding on the springs. I would start with the shocks (just happen to have a set for sale by the way - just cannot post up here due to low post count, they are stock replacement parts for a 2000 Exc).
Just installed my first set of Bilsteins and am very happy with their performance. ---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Well the ride has been the same since i put them on about a year and a half ago. So i dont think that they are worn out and i have a 2wd i thougt i put that in the o.p. But maybe i didnt.
