When To Get 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, 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 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1998 E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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. 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 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 can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon front end dip forward when I brake? 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? 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.
