Does Your 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2008 Ford Crown Victoria, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Crown Victoria jolts, drifts 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 2008 Ford Crown Victoria in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Crown Victoria Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2008 Ford Crown Victoria’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 getting your 2008 Ford Crown Victoria’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Ford Crown Victoria shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Ford Crown Victoria suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2008 Crown Victoria Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Crown Victoria's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Why should my Ford Crown Victoria 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 Crown Victoria power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Crown Victoria’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Ford Crown Victoria bounce 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.
  • Why does my Crown Victoria's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Crown Victoria'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford Crown Victoria are bad? Worn Crown Victoria shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Crown Victoria might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Crown Victoria shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
