Is It Time For 1999 Ford E-150 Econoline Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Ford E-150 Econoline, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your E-150 Econoline bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Ford E-150 Econoline 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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford E-150 Econoline Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Ford E-150 Econoline suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your E-150 Econoline’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, 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 1999 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.

1999 E-150 Econoline Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 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 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford E-150 Econoline power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your E-150 Econoline is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford E-150 Econoline bouncing 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Ford E-150 Econoline are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your E-150 Econoline 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 travels over minor bumps.
