Is It Time For 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, 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 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon's steering and 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.
  • Why should my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • 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.
