I'm following all the info on how bad Explorer are regarding rollovers. Well the shocks on this vehicle are the absolute worst I've ever seen on any vehicle. It is like riding on a trampoline all the time. It's no wonder they roll over so easily when every bump you hit almost sends it skyward. Obviously they've installed the cheapest possible shocks in the factory. Is there any way I can get new shocks from Ford and decrease my probability of rollover in the event of any small fender benders"?"
