Does Your 1998 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1998 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1998 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

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

Your 1998 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1998 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1998 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 should my Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s power steering fluid is low, 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? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon shocks feel like? 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.
