Does Your 2001 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2001 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. 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. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2001 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2001 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2001 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2001 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2001 E-350 Econoline Club Wagon Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When does Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon 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-350 Econoline Club Wagon’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon to have a bouncy ride? 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.
  • Why does my E-350 Econoline Club Wagon tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your E-350 Econoline Club Wagon travels over minor bumps.
