Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon's steering and suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon?

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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When does Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon 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 your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon bouncing excessively?

Excessive bouncing in your Ford E-350 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-350 Econoline Club Wagon front end dip forward when I brake?

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.

How do I know if I have worn Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon shocks?

If your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon 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-350 Econoline Club Wagon might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
