When To Get 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon jolts, sways 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 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1989 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Why should my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how 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 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.
  • What can cause my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon to have a bouncy ride? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon 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 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon need replacing? If your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
