Does Your 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Explorer Sport Trac feels bouncy, sways 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 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Explorer Sport Trac suspension system needs repair, 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 Ford Explorer Sport Trac’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford Explorer Sport Trac shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Explorer Sport Trac’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Explorer Sport Trac'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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Ford Explorer Sport Trac get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • When does Ford Explorer Sport Trac 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 Explorer Sport Trac’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Ford's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Ford Explorer Sport Trac bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Explorer Sport Trac 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 Explorer Sport Trac's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Explorer Sport Trac when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Ford Explorer Sport Trac need replacing? Worn Explorer Sport Trac shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Explorer Sport Trac might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Explorer Sport Trac shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
