Is It Time For 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your E-150 Econoline jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. 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 your E-150 Econoline steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Ford E-150 Econoline shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Ford E-150 Econoline suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1998 E-150 Econoline Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-150 Econoline's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford E-150 Econoline? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Ford E-150 Econoline power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your E-150 Econoline’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Ford E-150 Econoline bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your E-150 Econoline to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my E-150 Econoline front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford E-150 Econoline shocks? 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.
