- 97 Explorer Limited
I've done the search and just wanted to know what is the LATEST on this. I have a 1997 Explorer Limited which needs some work. I know for a FACT that my front shocks are gone, clunk, oil leak, plowing. So I will search for some nice aftermarket shocks for the front (any recommendations? I don't off road, just use the utility of the SUV)
Now I did notice that the air compressor is constantly blowing, but i do not get a Air Ride Error or Malfunction on the center computer, could it be a leak in the line? Maybe it is the shocks, if it is, here is my main concern: Which way is the best to go. I WILL want to eliminate the Air Ride system, unless I can find an Air Ride Alternative. I saw a post of someone in Ebay who has a store that sells fairly prices Ford OE Air Ride Shocks, he did respond that people with our years' explorer have install them, but that these shocks DO NOT have the electric lines that normally come, only the air line plugs, so can someone explain this.
People who have done this, please give me some insight, i don't mind installing standard shocks on the back.
Thanks.
great site,
Paul
