"One rear shock began to leak"

Anonymous, SD (2014 Ford Expedition Limited 5.4-L V8)

"Per Mechanic at last check up one front and one rear strut are starting to leak a little and recommended they be changed. Have talked to a few other shops and at current mileage is recommended time to change, about 5 years and at least 60K miles. Mfg recommends at 60 buy most mechanics say drive until problems or at around 5 years. So replacing a little early, but in line with mileage expectations."
