Does Your 2005 Ford Crown Victoria Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2005 Ford Crown Victoria, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Crown Victoria bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2005 Ford Crown Victoria in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Ford Crown Victoria suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford Crown Victoria Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Ford Crown Victoria’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2005 Ford Crown Victoria shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Ford Crown Victoria shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Crown Victoria’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2005 Crown Victoria Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford Crown Victoria? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Ford Crown Victoria power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Ford Crown Victoria bouncing so much? 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Ford Crown Victoria need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Crown Victoria feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Crown Victoria travels over minor bumps.
