Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ford's suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 Expedition 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

Does my Ford Expedition 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 Expedition is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Ford Expedition bouncing excessively?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Expedition to bounce more than usual.

Why does my Expedition's nose dive down 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Ford Expedition need replacing?

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.

Does Your 2018 Ford Expedition Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2018 Ford Expedition, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Expedition feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Ford Expedition in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Expedition suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Ford Expedition suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Expedition Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Ford Expedition 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Ford up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Ford Expedition’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford Expedition shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Ford Expedition 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.
