HOSS 3 leak @11k miles

[brkdncr]

Update: replaced under warranty no questions asked.

Saw a pool of oil under the bronco today. Looks like my front passenger shock gave out a little ahead of schedule with only 11k miles.

I’m scheduled for the dealership tomorrow; hopefully its straightforward and the part is available.

Well at least it's not just the OEM billsteins that are garbage, I guess.

Opppph seeing a 3.0 leak makes me happy I didn't go OEM.

Sorry that happened OP, dealer should warranty that without issue.

I didn’t find any other threads like this so think I’m an outlier.

You're likely the first, hopefully you're the last (but I wouldn't hold my breath)

Look at the bright side, at least your reservoir didn't fall off

Had a 2018 raptor that the stock fox shocks blew out at 1000 miles had to drive around on bad shocks for 9-10 months ford couldn’t get stock fox replacements and wouldn’t allow me to get the upgraded fox I could have had at my door in 3 days and offered to pay the difference

That's insane, the back end of my Bronco was bouncing so much when the shocks blew that there was no way I was driving it that way.

Good morning. Would you please send over a private message with your VIN and dealer info so I can look into this leak concern on my end?

I think you should have it from a previous issue.

FYI they replaced it under warranty no questions asked. It took a few days for the part to arrive.

Hi, I’ve got one with 3k miles that is leaking. I’ll be calling the dealer tomorrow, if you’re interested in watching this one as well.

Ford never helped anyone here, and they abandoned their social media presence a while ago.
