LESSON 2: CHASSIS
Suspension System
The Explorer and Mountaineer front suspension system is a coil spring-over-shock design similar to that of the
Aviator.
•
The Explorer and Mountaineer suspension however, has the following improvements:
– Redesigned shock absorbers.
– Redesigned coil springs.
– Redesigned shock absorber upper insulators.
NOTE: This change softens the harder ride caused by raising the tire pressure from 30 to 35 psi.
