Does Your 1993 Ford Aerostar Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1993 Ford Aerostar, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Aerostar feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1993 Ford Aerostar in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Aerostar steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford Aerostar Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 Ford Aerostar’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Aerostar’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Ford Aerostar shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Aerostar’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1993 Aerostar Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Aerostar's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Aerostar? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When does Ford Aerostar power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Aerostar is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford Aerostar bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Aerostar to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Aerostar to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Aerostar combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford Aerostar need replacing? Worn Aerostar shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
