Is It Time For 2012 Ford E-350 Super Duty Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2012 Ford E-350 Super Duty, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your E-350 Super Duty feels bouncy, drifts 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 2012 Ford E-350 Super Duty, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, 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 your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Super Duty steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford E-350 Super Duty Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 Ford E-350 Super Duty’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Ford E-350 Super Duty shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your E-350 Super Duty’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2012 E-350 Super Duty Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my E-350 Super Duty's steering and 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 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Ford E-350 Super Duty power steering fluid need to be 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’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford E-350 Super Duty bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your E-350 Super Duty 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 Super Duty tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your E-350 Super Duty combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford E-350 Super Duty shocks? Worn E-350 Super Duty shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your E-350 Super Duty might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your E-350 Super Duty shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
