Is It Time For 1983 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1983 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1983 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon suspension system needs repair, 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 E-250 Econoline Club Wagon steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1983 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1983 E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon 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 connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon 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-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon'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 do worn Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon travels over minor bumps.
