Does Your 1984 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1984 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough.

As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1984 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment.

Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s suspension. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1984 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • 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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon travels over minor bumps.
