New shocks for the fusion

[SilverFusion2010]

Found some blistein for the rear axle. I’m having trouble finding an upgrade for the front. Only can find OE equivalent. Car details in sig. Suggestions?

You changing the springs too or just the struts?

Oh man have fun with thoes rear shocks, they are a pain to change. I hate doing them. Front struts are easy.

Sachs from Rock.313855 front left and 313854 front right. I would go with matching Sachs on the rear also. Great shocks and struts. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3520287&cc=2002742&jsn=448 http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3520050&cc=2002742&jsn=447

Bilsteins are always a good bet.

That's the same car as the 03-08 Fusion/Mazda 6. Note that the Sachs struts Trav linked to are listed as fitting the 03-08 6 and 06-12 Fusion. Therefore, you can get Bilstein shocks/struts for the older Fusion/6 Part numbers for the front struts 24-102568 Left Front 24-102575 Right Front You can get the set of 4 on shox.com for $469

And those will fit my 2010?

 

[slacktide_bitog]

Yes, they will fit your 2010 Fusion. Confirmed by at least two threads on Fusion forums

Sweet. Bilsteins it is I know I should replace the strut mounts because 173k. What other bushings and bits need to be replaced?

Do I need to change the springs? I didn’t think that was needed unless lowering the car which I’m not doing.
