Is It Time For 2000 Ford E-150 Econoline Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2000 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 bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2000 Ford E-150 Econoline in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2000 Ford E-150 Econoline’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 getting your 2000 Ford E-150 Econoline’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, 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 2000 Ford E-150 Econoline suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2000 E-150 Econoline Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 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 checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford E-150 Econoline need replacing? 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.
