When To Get 1996 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1996 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1996 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon suspension system needs repair, 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1996 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon suspension system. 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 factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn 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 routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1996 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 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.
  • 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 come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • When does Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon bouncing excessively? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon to dip forward when I apply 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 do worn Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shocks feel like? 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.
