A recent online column discussed some of the essential shocks repair and maintenance. One topic is if a 1997 Ford T-bird that is running fine would need new struts in the front and rear Ford shocks. A strut is just a single part that combines a shock absorber with a coil spring to save space. According to the article, only a mechanic would have the answer to that. A sure sign of replacement is when one of the shocks is leaking. The other sign of worn-out shocks is unusual tire wear. If the tires are cupping or scalloping, or have high and low spots on the tread surface, would often mean a sign of bad shocks.

The authors also suggested the reliable shock test. This is when the driver pushes down hard on one corner of the bumper and the car should come back up once and stop, and not bounce. If it goes up and down even a little bit, the shocks are worn out.

Shocks are highly important not only do they affect ride comfortability but also the safety of the driver and his/her passengers. Replacement shocks are widely available nowadays, like Bilstein shocks, Koni shocks and Tokico shocks.

Efficient and reliable that is the Ford Ranger but the 2008 Ford Ranger is now even bolder, tougher, more fuel efficient, new Ford shocks and more affordable, adding to the successful “Built Ford Tough” capability and durability heritage that’s made it one of America’s favorite small trucks for two decades. The most fuel efficient pickup truck now gets even better fuel economy thanks to improved aerodynamics delivered by an updated front-bumper design.

2008 Ford Ranger owners will make fewer stops as well, thanks to service intervals that have been extended to 7,500 miles - making the most affordable pickup an even better value. This new service interval helps lowers Ranger’s cost of ownership - including purchase price, fuel cost, maintenance and more.

The 2008 Ranger also is bolder and tougher, with upgrades to the FX4 Off-Road model, including standard heavy-duty Rancho twin-tube gas shocks, increased rear spring rates, Class III Trailer Tow Package, skid plates (front, middle and rear) and sport bucket seats. A Torsen limited-slip rear axle is available with the FX4’s 4.10-inch rear axle. The truck’s extreme capability is further conveyed through bold cast-aluminum wheels and rugged, two-tone paint.

Four simplified series - XL, XLT, Sport and FX4 Off-Road - and an exceptional variety of optional equipment enables customers to get the Ranger they want and need. A limited run of trucks in eye-catching Grabber Orange will help introduce the 2008 model year with a blast of visual excitement.

The 2008 Ford Ranger has a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds to suit customers’ work and play needs. The truck has been tested in the most extreme North American climates and conditions - including blazing desert heat, Arctic cold temperatures, steep 20-percent grade hills and torturous off-road conditions - to assure it lives up to the “Built Ford Tough” promise, even with maximum loads.
