Does Your 1987 Ford Bronco Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1987 Ford Bronco, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Bronco feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Ford Bronco, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Bronco suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ford Bronco’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford Bronco Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 Ford Bronco’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Ford Bronco shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Ford Bronco shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Ford Bronco’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 Bronco Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Bronco's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Ford Bronco get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford Bronco power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Bronco bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Bronco goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Bronco front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Bronco 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 Bronco need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Bronco feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Bronco travels over minor bumps.
