I need to replace the front shocks on my 2015 5.4L V8 RWD Expy XLT but it's not listed in the US by VIN so it's hard to find the parts sometimes.
But it does work if I can get the Part Numbers off the bits I am replacing and just buy new ones.
The numbers I see on the front shocks below don't seem to translate into anything I can buy on Rock Auto and they can't help me either (without a US VIN)
So if anyone here can help translate the details below into the actual Ford Part (preferebly that I can get on RockAuto) I'd be grateful.
Thanks, Mike (in the UK)
Thanks for this.
Comparing the photos, the numbers are slighly different on the labels and wondered if anyone knew what they actually mean?
EL14 18045 = EL14 18045 Yours and mine are the same, which sounds good - is this the part number or something else?
1A16114-A = 1A101429-E These are quite different - may not matter but not sure - what is it supposed to tell us?
140817B = 210916A These are also quite different - any idea what they mean?
My nervousness is simply that I've had parts recently which were close, but not identical and ended up not working. As I have to get these shipped to the UK I need to be 100% sure they are identical.
Oh one other thought .... is there any other mark/label/number on the shock that I can take a photo of that will make matching easier?
Thanks for any help on this one

Yes, EL14-18045 is the part number and is the only part number listed for Front shocks on a 2015 expedition. The other numbers are codes for production and manufacturing.
btw, I just ordered these for my 2015 expedition and they are an exact match. This appear to be new OEM ford replacement shocks.

Thank you - is yours Rear Wheel Drive (Mine is).
Looks like they are the same for either though.

The listings I find in the Ford catalogs dont have an option for drive type, only year and chassis model. For the 2015 year model, there is only one shock listed for the front.
