When To Get 2003 Ford Crown Victoria Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2003 Ford Crown Victoria, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Crown Victoria bounces, 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 2003 Ford Crown Victoria, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Crown Victoria suspension system needs repair, 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 Crown Victoria’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 Crown Victoria Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Ford Crown Victoria’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Crown Victoria’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford Crown Victoria shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Ford Crown Victoria’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2003 Ford Crown Victoria Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Crown Victoria'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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Crown Victoria? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Crown Victoria power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Crown Victoria is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford Crown Victoria bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Ford Crown Victoria 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 Crown Victoria tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Crown Victoria when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Ford Crown Victoria shocks feel like? If your Crown Victoria shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Crown Victoria might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
