Ford Windstar Introduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.

Default 03 windstar cargo needs new shocks

What do you all recommend for shocks and struts. I have 75k on my van. I use it as a work truk. Here are a few pics



I went to brakes plus and they told me I need new rear brakes, Which I will have done tomorrow and new shocks all around. Any recommendations?
thanks

Monroe.

What ever brand you get, make certain they are "gas" shocks, with a lifetime guarantee.
