Does Your 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your E-250 Econoline bounces, 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 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your E-250 Econoline suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your E-250 Econoline steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford E-250 Econoline Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your E-250 Econoline’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Ford E-250 Econoline shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford E-250 Econoline? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Ford E-250 Econoline power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your E-250 Econoline 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 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Ford E-250 Econoline 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your E-250 Econoline 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Ford E-250 Econoline are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your E-250 Econoline 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 travels over minor bumps.
