Does anyone else hear that the ST rear shocks and Interceptor rear shocks are on back order because Ford found a quality issue with them? I need to replace my rear shocks because they are leaking, and Ford says they can't sell them to me due to this quality problem.

When you say “Ford” who are you referring to. The dealer? Or their actual parts hotline?

All my local dealers in my area. I'm curious if that's just in my area or if it's a “upcoming” recall Ford hasn't published yet to all Explorer ST owners.

hmmm, what’s odd with that is the PIUsa aren’t fail prone like the regular explorers. Maybe contact HSF or ZFG, they sometimes have them in stock.

Travis has them listed as out of stock but I'll check with ZFG!

Yes. they list the PIU rears on the website. I've been getting OE parts here. They usually ship pretty fast too.

Few months ago I bought a full set of oem struts and shocks from Rock Auto. Good price, fast shipping, no issues.

Yeah, it was definitely time for some new rear shocks after 50k miles. On the left are ST shocks, and on the right are PIU shocks. My local dealer ended up finding two pairs left in stock.
