What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's 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 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?

Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.

Does my Ford Explorer 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 Explorer’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Ford service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Ford Explorer bouncing so much?

Excessive bouncing in your Ford Explorer might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.

Why does my Explorer's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford Explorer are bad?

Worn Explorer shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Explorer might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Explorer shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Is It Time For 1993 Ford Explorer Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1993 Ford Explorer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Explorer feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1993 Ford Explorer in for suspension and steering service. 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, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford Explorer Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 Ford Explorer’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1993 Ford Explorer shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Ford Explorer shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1993 Ford Explorer suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.
