When To Get 2010 Ford Explorer Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2010 Ford Explorer, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Explorer feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2010 Ford Explorer in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Ford Explorer suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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 2010 Ford Explorer’s suspension. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2010 Ford Explorer shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Ford Explorer shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Ford Explorer’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2010 Ford Explorer Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford Explorer power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Explorer is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Ford Explorer to have a bouncy ride? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Explorer 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 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.
