When To Get 1985 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1985 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon feels bouncy, pulls 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 1985 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon

Your 1985 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1985 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1985 E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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. 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.
  • Does my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon power steering fluid need to be 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’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon shocks? 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.
