(Also posted on the SHOForum, but I haven't received a response)
I had a toe link failure on my 2010 SHO, so after replacing both toe links I took it in for an alignment and they informed me that my front struts and rear shocks were bad (they lumped all 4 springs in with that 'recommended replacement').
My door sticker reads Suspension "CCGG" so when I replaced the front struts 40k ago, I replaced them with 'Suspension C' parts. Now I cannot find a 'Suspension G' shock for the rear, However, based on my VIN FordParts.com lists 'Suspension D' all around, so apparently Suspension 'door codes' and codes listed for parts are not the same.
Fronts are under Warranty, so I guess I will just request replacements for them.
That being said The rear 'Suspension D' shocks are not available on RockAuto or Tasca. My local dealer can get them for $135 each plus $80 each for the springs plus shipping and tax.
I usually try to stick with OE parts if price is not too outrageous, but it seems there are no 'aftermarket' options that retain the "Suspension Variants", there is just "The replacement Shock/Strut for a 2010 Taurus", so my question is this: Is there actually a noticeable difference between the 'Suspension D' and everything else? Should I just throw $50 Monroe's on the rear, warranty the 'C' front struts, and replace all 4 springs with OE? (I couldn't find aftermarket springs that weren't lowering springs, and since my car already bottoms out pulling into my neighborhood, lowering isn't an option)
Thanks
I replied over there as well.
I would honestly just replace them with updated factory shocks. I would use these.

Can anyone confirm 2013+ shocks will fit a 2010?
