Is It Time For 1999 Ford Explorer Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1999 Ford Explorer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Explorer bounces, pulls 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 1999 Ford Explorer, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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, shocks, 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 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 Explorer steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Ford Explorer

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Ford Explorer’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1999 Ford Explorer’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Ford Explorer shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Ford Explorer suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 1999 Ford Explorer Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Explorer's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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.
  • When should I have my Ford Explorer power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Ford Explorer bouncing excessively? 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 tilt forward 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.
  • What do worn Ford Explorer shocks feel like? 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.
