Is It Time For 1986 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1986 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon jolts, 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 1986 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1986 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1986 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1986 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1986 E-350 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 alert you to the need for 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford E-350 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-350 Econoline Club Wagon is low on power steering fluid, 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? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon are bad? Worn E-350 Econoline Club Wagon 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.
