Is It Time For 2018 Ford EcoSport Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2018 Ford EcoSport, 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 EcoSport bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2018 Ford EcoSport, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your EcoSport 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 EcoSport suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford EcoSport Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Ford EcoSport’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2018 Ford EcoSport shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford EcoSport shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 Ford EcoSport’s 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.

Questions About 2018 Ford EcoSport Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Ford EcoSport 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford EcoSport power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your EcoSport’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 EcoSport bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your EcoSport to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my EcoSport's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your EcoSport'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford EcoSport are bad? Worn EcoSport shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your EcoSport might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your EcoSport shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
