Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-150 Econoline'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 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 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.

When should I have my Ford E-150 Econoline power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 is my Ford E-150 Econoline bouncing so much?

Excessive bouncing in your Ford E-150 Econoline 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your E-150 Econoline combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford E-150 Econoline are bad?

Worn E-150 Econoline shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your E-150 Econoline might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your E-150 Econoline shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

When To Get 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your E-150 Econoline jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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’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.

Ford E-150 Econoline Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Ford E-150 Econoline shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
