My MKT now has 46000 miles on it and the no deductible factory warranty expires at 50000. Thus I put it into the dealer because recently its been riding rough. During this time of slow business they are more willing to replace things and did they ever. They replaced front struts, rear shocks, swaybar endlinks, swaybar bushings and the power transfer unit known as the PTU. I never complained about the PTU by the way and it wasnt making noise when I brought it in, but no complaint that they replaced it. I have read those do go bad so it was good they replaced it.
Thus 40-50k is probably about the life of the shocks/struts, bushings and endlinks. When I went over speedbumps the front sway bar bushings squealed. There was clang or bang of metal on metal which was the right front swaybar endlink. The ride became rough and that was the struts/shocks coming to end of life.
