When To Get 1990 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1990 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1990 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 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

Your 1990 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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, side-to-side 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 1990 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1990 E-250 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon are bad? 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.
