Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 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 come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.

Does my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon power steering fluid need to be checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon bouncing excessively?

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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon'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 do I know if I have worn Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shocks?

Does Your 1985 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1985 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. Perhaps your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon feels bouncy, drifts 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 1985 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.
