When To Get 1983 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1983 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1983 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1983 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon'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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon? 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 connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shocks? Worn E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
