When To Get 2016 Ford C-Max Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2016 Ford C-Max, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your C-Max feels bouncy, pulls 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 2016 Ford C-Max, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Ford C-Max’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford C-Max

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Ford C-Max suspension system. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Ford C-Max shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford C-Max shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Ford C-Max’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 C-Max Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my C-Max's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford C-Max? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford C-Max power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your C-Max is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Ford C-Max bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Ford C-Max might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my C-Max's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your C-Max's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Ford C-Max shocks feel like? Worn C-Max shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your C-Max might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your C-Max shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
