When To Get 2004 Ford E-350 Super Duty Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2004 Ford E-350 Super Duty, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your E-350 Super Duty jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2004 Ford E-350 Super Duty in for steering and suspension services. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your E-350 Super Duty 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford E-350 Super Duty

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2004 Ford E-350 Super Duty suspension system. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your E-350 Super Duty’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Ford E-350 Super Duty shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Ford E-350 Super Duty suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2004 E-350 Super Duty 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 alert you to the need for 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 Super Duty 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 come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford E-350 Super Duty power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your E-350 Super Duty’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford E-350 Super Duty to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Ford E-350 Super Duty 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.
  • Why does my E-350 Super Duty front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford E-350 Super Duty need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your E-350 Super Duty 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 Super Duty travels over minor bumps.
