Is It Time For 1984 Ford E-350 Econoline Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1984 Ford E-350 Econoline, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your E-350 Econoline bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1984 Ford E-350 Econoline in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your E-350 Econoline suspension system needs repair, 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 E-350 Econoline steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford E-350 Econoline Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Ford E-350 Econoline’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Ford E-350 Econoline shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford E-350 Econoline shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Ford E-350 Econoline’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1984 E-350 Econoline Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford E-350 Econoline? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • When does Ford E-350 Econoline power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your E-350 Econoline’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 bouncing so much? 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 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'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 shocks feel like? If your E-350 Econoline 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 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
