Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Front struts leak oil and fail, sometimes on both driver and passenger sides at different mileages.
  • Rear struts or shocks leak oil, producing a bouncy, hard-to-control ride especially on rough roads.
  • Owners report all four struts leaking simultaneously, with dealers or independent mechanics confirming the failures.
  • Handling becomes erratic or unsafe at speed, with some describing loss of vehicle control tied to worn suspension components.
  • Uneven rear tire wear is reported alongside strut failures, with owners linking it to alignment issues.
  • Some owners say dealers declined warranty coverage on strut leaks, calling the leaks within Ford's stated tolerances.
