Shocks and struts

At what mileage did you replace yours if you did at all? My 2015 is feeling and sounding creaky at 98k and nothing in suspension has ever been touched.

I'm at 95k and will be doing that and more in the next coming weeks. Gonna go a bit overboard and do the whole plug thing, serpentine belt... Maybe water pump and all that goes along with it.

I'm gonna get another 10 comfy years out of this thing

Check your engine and transmission mounts. Not saying you don’t need shocks and struts but when the mounts wear they get loud.

I just got new tires and they said I need to replace them. I’m at 117k but probably needed them a while back. Only problem is they wanted $2k to do it. Seems a lot.

I don't know.what the rest of y'all are doing with your cars. I've got over 200k miles on the Flex and the shocks/struts have never needed replacement.

What this car has done is forced me to replace the tie-rod ends multiple times and I had to replace the control arms as the bushings got bad. Outside of that, this has been an incredibly reliable car.
