Ford Explorer: Explorer Hood Shocks

Check your local parts store (Autozone, etc). They'll have them. I
didn't realize that when I bought the ones for my hood OEM. I waited to
replace the rear door shocks because they were around $70 from the
dealer, iirc. When I found out you can get them elsewhere, I bought
them at Kragen for about $35/pair.

From Richard:

I bought mine at AutoZone. They were about $39.99 pair and very easy to
put on. BTW have a helper to hold the hood for you, it makes it a lot easier

I think the "helper" I've used most is an old broom handle...

Thanks dr bob.

I went to through two sets that came from Autozone. The plastice socket portion kept breaking after
about a week. Went and got the ford ones (only about $10 more) and no problems.

Yep.. I'm on my third one in two months from them. Did they refund your
money?

Mine came with a Lifetime Warranty. They haven't broken yet.
