When To Get 1998 Ford E-250 Econoline Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1998 Ford E-250 Econoline, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your E-250 Econoline feels bouncy, sways 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 1998 Ford E-250 Econoline in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your E-250 Econoline suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 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 1998 Ford E-250 Econoline suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Ford E-250 Econoline shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1998 Ford E-250 Econoline’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1998 Ford E-250 Econoline Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-250 Econoline's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford E-250 Econoline? 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 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your E-250 Econoline’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Ford E-250 Econoline bouncing so much? 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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford E-250 Econoline need replacing? Worn E-250 Econoline shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
