Is It Time For 1987 Ford E-350 Econoline Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1987 Ford E-350 Econoline, 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 bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Ford E-350 Econoline, 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 absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your E-350 Econoline suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Ford E-350 Econoline suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Ford E-350 Econoline Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Ford E-350 Econoline suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 1987 Ford E-350 Econoline shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Ford E-350 Econoline shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Ford E-350 Econoline suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 E-350 Econoline Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford E-350 Econoline power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your E-350 Econoline is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Ford E-350 Econoline bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Ford E-350 Econoline 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my E-350 Econoline to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Ford E-350 Econoline need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your E-350 Econoline 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 travels over minor bumps.
