How many miles should you change shocks on 1998 ford expedition?

It's not miles, but condition of shock absorbers that determine when they need to be replaced. If you seen hydraulic fluid weeping from them, the time is now. If the wheels of the vehicle bounce continuously while traveling on a highway at 45-65 miles per hour, the time is now. (Tire bounce may be hard to detect, unless the vehicle can be observed by a helper in a chase car, but it may be indicated if the vehicle is hard to control when going over potholes or railroad crossings.) If you jump on the bumper and the vehicle bounces for more than one cycle, the shock absorbers aren't doing their job and should be replaced. Admittedly, the Ford Expedition is a large, heavy vehicle, and the "jump test" may be difficult to perform, even for a guy weighing 180 pounds or more. Life expectancy for shock absorbers under typical street and highway conditions is around 40,000 to 60,000 miles, but possibly much less if the vehicle is operated primarily off-road or on roads in poor condition.

How many miles should shocks on a light truck last?
I've seen some places recommend replacing as often as 30k. In my opinion they should last a good 50k. Keep in mind that there is a big difference in a quality shock and the cheapo versions. Shocks are something that get neglected a lot. When I went to change the shocks on my 97 Expedition...with 208,000 miles it still had the factory originals. No one had ever changed them. They were SHOT. I've also had new ones fail with 10k miles. Buy a good lifetime warranted set and never worry about paying for them again.
When to change shocks on a 2008 Toyota Corolla?
You should change the shocks on your 2008 Toyota corolla when oil is visible around the shock absorber located behind the tire and made visible when you jack the car up and look just above the suspected tire. If the shocks are dented they should be replaced. Poor steering response and stiffness, uneven tire ware, excessive bouncing or vehicle sway are all symptoms of damaged shocks. Shocks should be changed about every 50,000 miles.

How will worn out shocks or bushings affect excessive yaw body roll or tilt in a vehicle?
Worn out shocks have a unmissable swishing noise, The front shocks will wear out before the back ones in most cases. If it is still stock then after 50,000 miles they (front shocks) will start to wear the back ones should be fine for another 10,000 miles. Shocks will significantly affect body roll. But

I had a Ford dealer put new motorcraft shocks on my 1995 Ford Explorer XLT at just over 84,000 kilometers ( just over 52,000 miles ) None of my shocks were leaking or damaged in any way , but I noticed the change right away as soon as I turned a corner . The turn in was sharper and the Explorer felt more stable . It was such a gradual decline in the performance of the original factory shock absorbers that I didn't notice

When should you replace the shocks on a 2001 suburban?
Shocks should be replaced once obvious wear is noticed, such as the Suburban taking bumps in the road harder, and taking longer to recover. If the vehicle bounces after it is heavily leaned on, it is a sign the shocks are worn. Drivers who tackle rough often will need to replace shocks more frequently than those who drive regularly on highways. Most manufacturers recommend a shock replacement about every 55,000 miles.
