Auto Parts: Shock Absorbers, lincoln town car, ford part numbers
QuestionI have a 2007 Ford Focus with 40,000 miles and the original shocks.
What shocks would you recommend for a very smooth ride ?
Thanks, Ray
Answer The Focus is not designed with an especially smooth ride. It is more European in its ride/handling characteristics. The Crown Vic is the best choice for a smooth ride among all cars built today (or a Lincoln Town Car---same thing). If smoothness is your priority, buy the OE shocks from Ford, and buy the ones intended for the base model. Don't buy Motorcraft shocks at a parts store, or from a Ford dealer. Buy the Ford shocks, with Ford part numbers, at the Ford dealer. They will give you the softest ride, at the expense of a little handling prowess.
