Just replace em with standard EA-EL rear shocks. Bolt straight in. Ford have been doing this ever since they realised the SLS was crap.

Most have had them replaced. Mine is a rare car that still has them. I had a few problems when I first got the car, but they ended up minor.

you have to replace the springs and shocks, as the SLS springs are very soft and your car will float badly..
just get a pair of standard falcon springs and shocks from the wreckers... |
