Does Your 1988 Ford Bronco II Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1988 Ford Bronco II, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Bronco II bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1988 Ford Bronco II, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Ford Bronco II suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Bronco II Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1988 Ford Bronco II’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Bronco II’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford Bronco II shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1988 Ford Bronco II’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1988 Bronco II Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Bronco II's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford Bronco II? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford Bronco II power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Bronco II is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Bronco II bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Bronco II to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Bronco II 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford Bronco II shocks? Worn Bronco II shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Bronco II might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Bronco II shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
