When To Get 1992 Ford Explorer Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1992 Ford Explorer, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Explorer bounces, drifts 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 1992 Ford Explorer 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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Explorer steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Explorer Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1992 Ford Explorer 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1992 Ford Explorer’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Ford Explorer shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1992 Ford Explorer 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.

1992 Explorer Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Explorer's steering and 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ford Explorer? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • Does my Ford Explorer power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Explorer’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Ford Explorer bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Explorer to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Explorer front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Explorer 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Ford Explorer shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Explorer feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Explorer travels over minor bumps.
