Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Expedition's steering and suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Why should my Ford Expedition 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When does Ford Expedition power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Ford Expedition bouncing excessively?

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 Expedition tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Expedition 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.

What do worn Ford Expedition shocks feel like?

If your Expedition shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Expedition might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

Is It Time For 2017 Ford Expedition Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2017 Ford Expedition, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Expedition 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 2017 Ford Expedition in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Expedition suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Expedition 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 Expedition

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 Ford Expedition suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Expedition’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford Expedition shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Ford Expedition’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.
