Leaking Magneride rear shock and front strut

[Stizzy24]

I noticed today that my 2024 Dark Horse driver front strut and passenger rear shock are leaking. The car only has 8,000 miles and they’re already leaking which just amazes me. Rear shock looks like it’s been leaking for a while and the front strut is just starting to leak. I don’t know if I should take it in for warranty or just replace them myself out of pocket. Is there any programming required after replacement? I did see a post regarding noise concerns with Magneride but nothing about leaky shocks.

Use the warranty. It will be expensive.

@Stizzy24 ...... for God's sake man, use your warranty! So far you've done everything right - pictures and notes! So keep going! BTW if anyone but a Ford dealer does the replacement and uses anything but Ford OEM parts you could actually harm your warranty. We all pay for the warranties (indirectly) - your case looks pretty clear cut to me.

Why on earth would you not use your warranty?

I’ve had way too many terrible experiences at Ford dealerships with 3 of my S550’s. Knowing the repair is done properly is a great peace of mind.

I would replace them myself with the same OEM parts. I don’t think there’s aftermarket magneride shocks for Mustangs.
