Explorer Shocks & Struts 2019 – Smooth Out Every Drive with Factory-Calibrated Performance

The shocks and struts in your 2019 Ford Explorer are essential to delivering the smooth, controlled ride your SUV was built for. Over time, these suspension components wear out—resulting in clunking, bouncing, body roll, or longer stopping distances.

OEM shocks and struts are engineered to Ford’s factory specifications, providing the exact dampening force, ride height support, and structural strength your Explorer needs. With precision valving, durable corrosion-resistant materials, and a direct bolt-on fit, OEM parts restore the performance, stability, and safety of your suspension system.

If your vehicle feels unstable over bumps or during turns, it’s time to replace worn shocks and struts with genuine OEM components.
