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

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When should I have my Ford Explorer Sport Trac power steering fluid checked?

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 can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Ford Explorer Sport Trac 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 Explorer Sport Trac's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Explorer Sport Trac 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 Explorer Sport Trac need replacing?

If your Explorer Sport Trac 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 Explorer Sport Trac might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

When To Get 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Explorer Sport Trac feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Ford Explorer Sport Trac’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 Explorer Sport Trac’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs 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 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.
