When To Get 2005 Ford E-150 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2005 Ford E-150, 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. Perhaps your E-150 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2005 Ford E-150 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, struts, bushings, chassis components, 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 parts of your Ford E-150 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford E-150 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Ford E-150’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 Ford E-150’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford E-150 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 Ford E-150’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2005 E-150 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-150'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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford E-150? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When does Ford E-150 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your E-150 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Ford E-150 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 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my E-150 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your E-150'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford E-150 need replacing? Worn E-150 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
