79k miles and need to replace my shocks

[tfitzgex]

Got my tires rotated today and they did an inspection. turns out both front and rear shocks are leaking.
The technician said the front has been leaking for a while now (appears to be) I had a fordcare premium upto 75k but the last time I had it in a dealer for service I don't think they did an inspection. Now that I'm out of any kind of warranty, What are some decent replacements for the stock parts?

I don't want to spend a crapton of money as the car already has almost 80k on it, I just want to get it down the ro

I don’t believe there is a good aftermarket direct replacement yet. That said, the Koni shock that @markboris pioneered for the rear helps to tame the rear “bounciness” that many seem to have. ??

You might want to get a second opinion

I’ve looked wanting to upgrade and the only shocks that fit are the Ford OEM ones. I checked a couple used parts sites and they run about $125 each, as opposed to $275 new.
I second having someone else look it over. It’s an old scam to spray some lubricant and tell you there’s a leak.
