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.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford E-150 Econoline?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When does Ford E-150 Econoline 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 E-150 Econoline’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why does my Ford E-150 Econoline bounce so much?

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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your E-150 Econoline'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Ford E-150 Econoline are bad?

If your E-150 Econoline 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 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

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

When you first drove your 1984 Ford E-150 Econoline, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on.

If your Ford E-150 Econoline’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment.
