MKZZtop Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I recently, this month bought my father in laws 2012 Lincoln MKZ. It has 66,000 miles and is in pretty good condition. Looking to upgrade the factory shocks and am wondering what folks are using. Just put Michelin as\4 tires on last week to replace mismatched tires. Car has had a few run ins with the curb and has a few scrapes and marks that will buff out. Car was aligned and was slightly out of alignment but brought back into specs.Father in law is 91 and quit driving finally. Window tint and a few other things on my list.

Hi MKZZtop and welcome to the Lincoln MKZ Forum. There are not a lot of aftermarket choices which will "upgrade" or make an appreciable difference in handling. And in some cases, they will simply give a harsher ride. In my opinion...If the shocks/struts need to be replaced, you are best off replacing them with the Motorcraft/OEM parts. Let us know how you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubyinla Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 KYB's are very good. I've had them on any number of cars. From my Miatas to, most recently, my wife's Ford Flex. They are a quality brand name and good ride. This is all assuming you don't have the electronically controlled ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
