Is It Time For 2021 Ford Escape Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2021 Ford Escape, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Escape bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 Ford Escape 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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Escape 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.

Ford Escape Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Ford Escape suspension system. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2021 Ford Escape’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford Escape shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 Ford Escape suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2021 Ford Escape Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Escape'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Ford Escape get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When does Ford Escape power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford Escape to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Ford Escape 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 Escape 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 do worn Ford Escape shocks feel like? Worn Escape shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Escape might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Escape shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
