Does Your 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your E-250 Econoline feels bouncy, leans 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 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Ford E-250 Econoline suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. 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. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ford E-250 Econoline shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1989 Ford E-250 Econoline Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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? 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.
  • 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford E-250 Econoline bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my E-250 Econoline to dip forward when I apply 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? If your E-250 Econoline shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your E-250 Econoline might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
