What do the suspension spacers look like and how can you tell if they have been removed? Bought a new car from a non-Ford dealer and want to make sure it is set-up correctly. Thanks!

Here are the ones off of my car. With the car jacked up, you should be able to see and take them out.

Thanks for the quick reply - didn't see them when I looked today without jacking it up. Will jack it up and look again.

I just bought my 2017 with 1,200 miles on it and sure enough, they were still in there! I didn't drive the car before I bought it and noticed how bouncy it was the first time I drove it. Figured it was the country road and took it out a few days later and wasn't any better. Pretty crazy. Mine were white, not yellow and if you look close you can see them without jacking the car up.

Thanks - looked hard today and didn't see any, but the ride is like you explained, very bumpy.

Fortunately I had my brother's to compare to, so that helped knowing it wasn't right. It was almost like pogo stick bouncy, if that makes sense. My daughter was in the back and bounced her head off the roof.

Imagine the poor soul that drove that awesome car for 1200 miles with the blocks in......................... I wonder if the ride was one of the factors that made him/her sell it.

I wondered the same thing. I guess the gentleman was 70, or close to it. Might explain the low miles too.

Found the blocks in the back - thanks to everyone for your assistance!

Don’t see any in the front still - would they be in the springs on top?
Was going to say after seeing the pictures of your car in the other thread, the rear did look higher than normal.

The front shipping blocks will be located somewhere in the middle of the springs and in a vertical position and are easier to see than the smaller conical blocks that are used in the rear of the car at least that is my opinion.

If you cannot see the larger front suspension blocks which are sitting in the springs in a vertical position I suggest that they have already been removed. :like: :like:
