2020 XLT front shocks

[Mr Soto]

Has anybody replaced their front shocks, I'm feeling the ride is a little bumpy.

There are no other options other than OEM for replacements.

Last year I replaced the rear ones with Steeda, can't say the extra price tag was worthy.

The PIU / ST fits the 2.3?

Steeda ones are just a rebrand. Yes, all shocks are interchangeable between trims.

Could be the Steeda's are the reason why the ride is bumpy. They are a rebrand of the firmer ST struts/shocks. If you want it soft, you should get the stock struts/shocks. Relatively cheap too. I feel like MY2020 is going to show it's age though. Every rubber bushing and even the strut mounts will be less compliant and result in harsher ride.

It seems to me that the bumpiness is only in the front, in the engine bay área. I think firmer is better, but I don't think I'm getting Steeda again.

Which ones would be best PIU or ST?

i have PIU struts/shocks. More road feel but ride is never harsh. At times bumpy tho... MY2020. Some reporting that motor mounts shot.

Might as well get PIU. There isn't going to be a huge difference in ride quality or performance, but they are rumored to be a little firmer.
