Scott'sSEL Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 I have a 2013 Edge 3.5 SEL I replaced my struts and shocks in all four corners 2 years ago with Monroe Monroe quick struts on the front have gone bad. Very spongy ride in the front. I do not just want to replace an out under warranty, I've only driven 10,000 miles in the 2 years, I am thinking of either going KYB strut Plus and KYB shocks and KYB shocks in the back, or purchasing used Motorcraft springs and going Motorcraft. What do you guys think. I have seen some videos where the KYB springs on their strut plus is a little thicker. What's your opinion, I don't put on a whole lot of miles. But still Monroe going bad in 10,000 miles still shouldn't have happened.. Thank you for your feedback.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 The KYB assemblies are getting a bit difficult to find, but should work well ... for at at least 60K miles or so. better yet, KYB struts + moog cargo coils or motorcraft coils + motorcraft strut mounts for a custom assembly that should hold up even longer. there is yet to be a better brand for the mounts than motorcraft for this platform.

enigma-2 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 You have one choice. Motorcraft and aftermarket. You know that Motorcraft will last and provide the best ride, is it cost? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.twofish Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Just joined this forum site to look for better-than-OEM shock/strut solutions. Just inherited a 2013 SEL with 125K mil riding on fresh 18" oversize tires that seems to crater on every damn bump in the road. Looks like I'll be asking a mechanic to order/install Motorcraft! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) With Motorcraft, make certain you check for the correct strut. On my mkx, the strut model changes based on tire size. I have 20" wheels and it takes a different strut than that used for to 18" or 17". Don't think it matters with aftermarket.
