Bad shocks at 60k miles!

[Chupacabra]

Eh, 60k is pretty low miles for shocks. But its an FCA product so who are we kidding...?

My 2015 F-150 has 53,000 miles and I can tell those shocks are done. Not leaking but I can tell they aren't doing the job anymore. I usually consider 50,000 miles the limit for shocks, even though they might technically still work they aren't working like they did new.

Shocks wear down gradually and you just don't notice the deterioration. Guarantee if you put new ones on today you'd immediately feel the difference.

I had a 2003 TJ with 165,000 on the original shocks. I thought it "drove fine" too until I put new ones on it. Made a world of difference.

Shocks are worn out at 60k and absolutely smoked by 150k. You shouldn’t have to notice a lean to one corner before you replace wear parts.

As a preventative, I swapped Rubi shocks/springs at 7k. I'm at 23k now so I guess I'd better be safe and get the Bilstein or Fox shocks I've been looking at...

I own a 2018 wrangler unlimited sport that has tire wear on the front that someone told me that the shocks are bad/worn and this is the cause of the tire wear and slight vibration. It only has 60k miles,most highway,has anyone else had this issue?

60k on a shock isn't exactly low.
