Finally changed out the factory struts on our 04 Escape, 166k and was long long overdue on the front struts, a lot of rough interstates and back roads. Had various clunks from the front and back which might of just been a loose nut on the shock on the back and a bad Moog sway bar link on the front, bought good years ago and thought they last till the end guess not. She's told me to change those our for years and not sure why I didn't. She says it drives like a new car.. but why didn't you change out the back shocks also? Those are on the way.
Figured I'd post since I've heard KYB struts are stiff on some vehicles, wife approved so must be ok! Might be the fact it's a V6 and the springs are undersized by design.Time will tell. The Monroe's on the Focus seems equally as good but had to tightened the nut on it, 40k on those.
