When To Get 1990 Ford E-350 Econoline Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1990 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, pulls 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 1990 Ford E-350 Econoline, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford E-350 Econoline Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Ford E-350 Econoline suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 Ford E-350 Econoline’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford E-350 Econoline shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1990 Ford E-350 Econoline 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.

1990 E-350 Econoline Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-350 Econoline's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Ford E-350 Econoline power steering fluid checked? 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 tilt forward when I hit 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 do worn Ford E-350 Econoline shocks feel like? Worn E-350 Econoline shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your E-350 Econoline might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your E-350 Econoline shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
